Any idea what this mystery red fabric thingy I found under my engine cover is?

Did the first oil change today on the Willys. When I went to pour the new oil in, I noticed this thingy tucked down under the plastic engine cover right next to the oil fill port. It was just kinda laying down in there and not actually secured on anything. Seems like something from when the Jeep was manufactured or something like that that would protect some wire or tube or something and then be discarded at a certain step on the assembly line, if I had to guess.

My Jeep had two body clips and three bolts under the carpeting. Yet it was missing some of the parking brake hardware. I guess it all evens out. Maybe look under your carpeting and see if they left you a few other surprises.

My dad was a service manager at a Porsche Audi dealer. One day an Audi 100LS came in where on every right turn, the alternator light would come on. This was a vehicle still under warranty. After going through the whole wiring harness they took the alternater off. My dad decided to remove the voltage regulator and look inside because it was a strange case. Plus, the alternator was on backorder and was going to take a few days to get. Upon removing the regulator, he found a German beer bottle cap inside. Thus removed it and the mechanic reinstalled the alternator. Problem fixed. Plus, Audi actually paid that warranty claim.

You are unlucky as the worker dropped his little red bag, not the green one.
