these two fell out the trunk trim... not the best picture, but they should be normal, round rubber bands...

can't figure out if they are OE or just got there somehow... the trunk trim was "virgin" when i opened it... or, so i think...

I believe those bands are used to wrap portions of the wiring harness before installation in the vehicle. I'll check on that and get back to you.

Yep, those are bands used to secure various portions of the harness during installation in the car. Not supposed to be left in the car, but I doubt you got charged for them...

don`t know what this is but found this in the back trunk area and the other side is hollow so basically it just curves in half.
