I ran a Weboost antenna through the hole for power running boards below the driver's foot area. I needed to take the plastic panel around the parking break and the scuff plate underneath the door off to get access. Afterwards I have a large round clip that I saw above the carpet, which I can't figure out where it actually goes back. I'm hoping someone can tell me where it came from so I can put it back.

I've included a picture of the extra clip; and the two panels I pulled before finding it loose.

Also a picture of the amplifier and external antenna. The antenna is magnetic and sticks right onto my back rack. The amplifier is nicely tucked under the drivers seat and attached to the carpet with hook & loop. I've got it powered from the rear cigarette lighter. I originally thought of running a fuse tap from the passenger fuse box, but I would probably want a switch and figuring out where a good place to stick an extra rocker switch to turn it on/off seems like more effort than I want to to go through now.

Looks like the clip for the front carpet retention post. Look under the pedals towards the front edge of the carpet, there should be a small hole there. That coincides with a stud coming off the floorpan. The clip you have screws on to the stud to secure the carpet.

Thank you so much. That was super obvious once you told me the answer. There's always a balancing act when removing these things about pulling hard enough to actually get a trim piece (or in this case carpet) off without breaking something.
