Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I suspect that it got popped off either during the PPI or when the cabin filter was replaced.
Leading evidence: 'Replace i suspect' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace i suspect' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I found this in the trunk 3 or 4 days after I bought my car. I can't see anywhere that it belongs. It looks like it is a seal of some sort, but not for anything under pressure. All the caps in the trunk are are in place. Maybe a drain? Any idea where to look?
i've seen those on the inside bottom of the door; its a plug/seal...after removing the panel and etc., probably just a left over from some prior maintenance?
FYI: although the shazakastat was only used in pre-Most bus water-cooled cars, it can be adapted to work with the 996. Do a DIY search on Renntech.

Seriously, I think this is a strut mount cover. Costs about $1.00.

to see where it lives - I think this might be a 986 though.
No, no... it's a "protetitive pastie" worn by the big breasted German girls that serve beer in the Biergartens. Apparently, German men have taken "nipple piching" to new heights during OKtoberfest.
Yep, it is the strut cover mount cover. Thanks Loren and td783 (and all the more ingenious suggestions too
). I suspect that it got popped off either during the PPI or when the cabin filter was replaced.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
