Covid boredom

Ok, I've got a real mystery part for you.

I have found this part more than once when removing the lower rear seat of 156 sedans, never been able to find where it comes from.

Theory...  This part actually belongs to the Sportwagon.  But it's on the broadcast sheet for the sedan by mistake.  Assembly worker at Pomigliano d'Arco routinely throws them under the seat. 

Or it's part of an ISOFIX arrangement removed from ADR-compliant cars in a similar fashion.

Well, have only found them under the rear seat of pre-facelift sedans.

Lug that pushes into the foam seat base and is used to locate Seat base on a bolt head/raised section of the floor underneath .... perhaps, lemme have another beer and another go

i thought I recognised it - its part of the mechanism that holds the rear seat armrest in place.I remember it pinging out when I pulled my rear seat out.

[bazzbazz]

Eh? Please explain or show photo.

[poohbah]

Don't really want to pull the armrest out to check - but if I recall correctly it looks like a piece that helped hold the padded armrest in place, ie I had to remove it to separate the padded armrest from the seat itself. (Of course I may be wrong, I reckon it was about 5 years ago.).

[poohbah]

Yep, its one of two sliding retention clips from the bottom of the armrest.

Which is probably why you keep finding them under the seat!

have you also found any of the flat bits of plastic with the U-shaped cut-outs that keep the clips in place?
