S4/100 owners-where does this clip go?

[Scott Bermes <scottb2460@earthlink.net>]

I had been hearing a "clinking" sound under the steering wheel when I
went over bumps, and today I found a brown (rust) color clip laying on
the inside of the black plastic cover just in front of the hood lever. 
I believe it goes somewhere just inside that area close to the hood
lever, (just above the drivers left knee) but have no idea what this
could be from or for.  Any BTDT's?!!
