Random Car Part Identified – I Love the Internets
I found this random car part lying under the hood where it didn’t belong.
After searching and searching – even comparing cars of the same year, make and model, I was lost as to what or where this part belonged.
Most of us thought it was some kind of tensioner.
Wrong, past-tense breath.
It’s nothing more (or less) than a bracket to hold the plastic engine cover in place!
But I LOVE THE INTERNETS…
I posted my puzzle on the Internets and God Bless

this looks like one of the 4 engine cover clamp to me.
you could weld it back i suppose..
BINGO. I finally made time to take the engine cover off and sho-nuff there was a similar part on the opposite side of the engine. A closer look and I could see where the random part had broken.
It shall remain broken.
I shall remain ever grateful to soji89 and the internets.
It looks like a door striker. Did you ever find out what it was?
I’m gonna leave this comment here just to illustrate how spammers will do anything to get a link.
