So pretty much I had a flat tier a few days ago. Drove a bit in it (I know, didn't realise and no warning from the car system). Anyways, fast forward a few days after fixing it, I hear a rattling at the back left (passenger side) of the car. Anyways, the image uploaded is the part that fell off. Anyone know what its used for?

Any help is appreciated! The dealers are all closed till' Monday.

Could that have been the culprit for the flat tire?

you should examine the walls of the wheel area, see if there are any holes or piercing caused by this object. It looks 99% like half of a scissor and you must've driven over it. The wheel the went over it probably shot it to the car's body and it just stuck there for a while until now.

Possible pocket knife, minus the wood/bone/plastic piece that the blade folds into?
