    Immediately drive your car to the dealer for extensive diagnostics! :D

    It looks like it is a bumper or connector between two things to keep them from moving/touching. That's my SWAG.

    Looks like a vacuum tube connector.
    Is anything misbehaving?

    Those are rubber plugs they put into threaded portions of the frames and bodywork prior to painting the chassis black.

    What he said. It was to prevent the threads from getting clogged with paint.

    Wow! Great answers everyone! Thank you for the help. I’m going to discard of it assuming it was a thread protector not needed anymore.

    If this turns out to be correct as paint plugs, then good to know
