What's this thingy?

Pulled the driver door panel off to replace the lock and found this thing inside the door. Any idea what it is or where it goes?


Thanks!

Never seen such a part in a car.

Who knows, maybe now that mystery rattle your car has had the entire time you've had it, will finally quit.

At least it's not a beer bottle with a note inside that says "so you finally found it you rich S.O.B" like somebody I knew did years ago in a Cadillac from the early 70s.

It looks like it might be a tie-down cleat for a tarp or car cover. What it was doing inside the door is a mystery.
