So... First wash of the new Jeep, and we were vacuuming it out. We were vacuuming under the front seats removing lovely kid sand from the beach (floor mats guys!), and I heard a rattling sound. So under the passenger seat, wedged in a carpet cutout I found this lovely bolt with thread lock on it. Anyone want to make a guess where this probably belongs?

Don't have an answer but we found a razor blade under our back seat. Was glad I found it with my eyes rather than my fingers.

Most likely the factory worker dropped the bolt and just grabbed another one instead of looking for it.

That looks like it could be one of the bolts that fastens the rear section of your center console to the floor.

Check on the lower rear passenger side of the console to see if it's missing the plastic cover. The bolt would go in there if it is missing.

This is it. Definitely a bolt for the center console.

Yeah, I figured that an assembly worker had a bag of them, and one fell out when they were taking one out of the bag. I just thought it was an interesting thing to find. BDinTX wins though, I'm really glad that it wasn't a razor blade. It looks like it holds some sort of trim piece on. If I get the "death wobble", I'll begin to wonder. :)
