WTF is this...

I was running wiring for my LED mirror signal and found this when I took the trim off. Anyone know what it is, and what it's supposed to do.

suppose to go on top of the wire as a cover. Looks like it came off and got dismangled. I wouldn't worry about it.

You see those 2 screws holding in the wiring in the kick ....that covers that....basicly covers that hole.....it was self adhesive...you know stuck at one time.....The passanger side has the same thing......

Yep... unfold it and see where it fits. Probably fits on the inside of the panel you took off.

Actually, I didn't realize it at the time, but you can see in the 2nd pic above where the black thing used to stick to the metal, just above that cut-out.
