Mystery piece in glove box

Hi,

Recently purchased a used 07 coupe and in the glove box there's a small rectangle-ish piece of plastic (it's black). Has a push-tab type of mechanism on the back.

Quite small, I'd say about 5" by 3".

It wasn't attached to anything, was just sort of sitting in the glove box.

Sorry, don't have pics at the moment.

Any ideas what it is? Almost feels like an ashtray cover of sorts but it doesn't fit on anything. Driving me insane!

p.s. New member btw, have put up a post on the Canada forum.

You must be right, because I've clearly travelled back to 2005 jokes

I know what piece you're talking about. I'm not sure it has a function, though.

No one is making fun of the guy except trying him to post a picture of the mystery object if he really needs/wants an answer to an object that can't be described in words by the best in "Name that Thing Contest".
