Car got wet in the rain. It is a 99 c4 cabrio. Took apart the interior to let it dry. Found the leak. Found this part behind the rear interior trim panel. Hoping to put the car back together when I get home from work tomorrow and the car is dry. I hate when there are pieces left over. Any idea what this is?

Is there a part number on it?
OK, judging from the size of your hand, the size of the part, and the size of the ratchet, I would guess that you are a giant and the part is the cylinder from a 6 shot revolver?
Don't make fun of my size. We giants are a sensitive bunch. It is funny what perspective does. That is a 1/2 drive ratchet on the floor.
No idea. Are you wearing boxers or a skirt in the picture, can't tell, either way, cover up man.
No idea on the part but I hope you took the entire carpet out if your floor got soaked. The foam on the underside holds massive amounts of water and is nearly impossible to remove it all with the carpet in place.
Behind the rear panel? It is the flux capacitor connector and without it connected your IMSB will blow up the next time you start the car! Actually, I have no idea....
Carpet on drivers side is flipped up so it can dry. That is why I had to remove side panel and found the gun barrel. I only work on my car in my boxers after midnight. Isn't that how you do it?
Do you, or a did the PO have kids? This looks distinctly like a petrified morsal of Post Honeycomb breakfast cereal. I've attached a pic of it in it's original, non-petrified form for clarification.
I would guess a left over part from when they were putting the car together. But I do like the honeycomb idea too. P
Well my options at this point seem to be remove the other side panel and see where it goes or leave it off for weight savings.
I say go for the weight savings more seriously, could it be a screw holder? Looks similar to the part in which you screw the brake booster cover under the hood
That looks like one of the little clips that will attach to the metal body so you can screw in trim pieces and such and give them an attachment point.

exactly what I was trying to say!

Just make sure you press the hell out of the foam against several dry towels to extract all the water. I tried to do it that way but found there was just too much water and eventually ended up taking the carpet out and standing on various parts of the carpet with towels underneath to extract all the water out.
WOW...KK has a sense of humor... Alp that job looks like a pain in the bunghole.. but that would be the right way of doing it to prevent any foul odors and rusting.
I did not take the entire carpet out. Just the driver side. Was able to dry it with a blow dryer and time. And thank you for the advice all. It is a screw holder. Armed with that information I was able to figure out where it went.
