Default Interior Clip - Where Does It Go?

This wee thing. It’s about a five cent coin in diameter.

I’ve got absolutely no recollection of where I removed it from - Alzheimer’s is obviously contagious.

Look forward to enlightenment.

I'm going to take a guess here and say it is for one of the side boot liners.

Slight problem with that - it's a ute (charcoal XR6 interior, not leather).

Does the overhead console/sunglass holder thing normally just "float" on the headlining? Wondered if it could have been from that.

For the last three days I have pulled out the entire interior in my XR6 ute, cleaned it bit by bit and put it all back in and did not come across one of those clips.

I was just working on my wife's Mazda 6 & came across almost the exact same clip. There were 3 of them used to retain the headlining across the rear windscreen area.

Found another one, opposite side of the car, under the carpet. Interesting.

Neither were pushed home, so I did wonder if they were discarded from an assembly used on other models and differently employed in the Falcon. The carpet definitely hasn't been up since January 2006, can't say before then.
