Found this making noise behind the radio/dash, what is it?

JustDriveIt · 06-06-2016, 03:57 PM

Anybody know what this is, where it came from, or how it got here? I noticed a sound like something was rolling or hanging behind the dash and made noise everytime I turned left and right or went over a bump. I took the CD/DVD player cover off and found this, just chilling here. I have no idea where it came from, or how it got there.

Anybody have any ideas? I pulled it out (took some force) and it just has a enlarged end at the other end.

Also, when I put the dash back together, now nothing blows out of the front vents, only the back...any ideas? It sounds like there is some resistance when I turn it up full blast, but nothing comes out of the front except for a tiny bit of hot air (With the AC on all the way cold). Any ideas? Thanks.

Well that's a real stumper

I've had my radio in and out of my 09 E92 prolly 10 times and never saw anything like that

I found out it is one of the "tabs" that holds the front plate of the DVD/CD player plastic on, so I can glue it back on, but it holds fine with the other 4.

I must have but I don't know how. It's like the internal vent "door" won't open. Anyone have any ideas?
