Unidentified part fell out of door panel!

Earlier this evening I opened the driver's side door to have the pictured part fall out from between the plastic door panel and the door itself. It looks like the door panel wasn't put back on very tidily and the plastic trim clips on the bottom had not engaged correctly, leaving a small gap for it to fall through.

I can't seem to figure out what this goes to--I can't find anything in the FSM or parts catalogs about it (or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough). Does anybody know what this goes to before I open up the passenger panel too to see if I can track it down?

Thanks for your help!

It's a bracket for the door plastic to bolt to the door panel

Those support a foam bridge between the various recesses in the foam doorcard for the door cup/map-pocket etc.

Even with those braces the foam bridges are crazy fragile.

If you have the door card off, good idea to reinforce with JB Weld, or similar.

Would be good if someone could 3D print those braces.

Should be attached via screws to the door plastic.

are you asking for one that replaces the foam section as well as the steel piece?

Correct. Hopefully just a couple extrusions up from your steel bracket profile. The glued old foam isn’t great for the door pull area
