Default Need help identifying this mysterious piece

I was bored and decided to take out my airbox of my 2012 997.2 C4 GTS...
Found this little thing on the floor during the process....
Anyone has any idea what this may be? help appreciated.

It looks like a rubber stopper that you spin in and out to adjust. Not sure where it would go in the engine bay of a .2 though.

Looks like the same surveillance wireless microphone my wife planted in my car.

you can see both left and right at lower hatch, which in this picture is to the right.
It's for the motor cover or trunk... one on left/right, screws in.

are you referring to those buffer bumper for the lid? I have those on already, thus confused.... this one much smaller... could it be possible that it might not come from porsche and someone dropped in the airbox from outside? mystery continues...
