What the heck is this piece?

I was driving home the other day in my fairly new Gladiator (still under 1K miles) the other day. I had the Sunrider flipped back and was driving along the county highway when I noticed something on the front passenger seat. It wasn't there before, it was big enough that I'd have seen it. It was a piece of color-matched plastic (Anvil clearcoat) that obviously had paint applied to it. When I got home, I looked around the Jeep to see what it could've come from but didn't find anything. It's not a huge deal, I think, but now I'm just curious what it could be. The plastic feels very low quality, very light weight and that makes me wonder if it was a piece of some sort of retention piece or jig for when the Jeep was getting painted. It must have been somewhere above the sound bar or a higher area and eventually bounced out while driving, since I noticed it after driving over railroad tracks.

Does anyone have an idea what it is?

More than likely, it was just part of an assembly piece that was intended to be disposed of after whatever it was a part of was installed. I've literally found specialized tools left in one of my Jeeps and a good friend found an assembly panic stop button in his LOL
That's amazing! I would probably find a way to adhere the panic stop button on the dash. 😂 Special tools would just be cool to find, even if they have no other real purpose.
