I have a friend with a 2014 Explorer.  He backed out of his garage this morning and he says this fell off the bottom of his car.  It is foam rubber.  Any idea what it is or where it came from?

Thats very odd,do you have the dimensions?? Do the Explorers have a bottom belly cover?? If so it could be from the insulated covers from under.  Z

4 inches wide/2 1/2 inches tall/1/2 inch thick.  It sort of looks the shape of a brake pad.

Could it somehow helped keep fuel and/or brake lines from vibrating on the underside of the car. Those scallops look like they could match up with plumbing so to speak...

Good observation!  I think I have seen this before and it might be to prevent rattles/vibration of plumbing.  Trans cooling lines going to the radiator maybe....

It just hit me now,it could be the insulation between the radiator and CAC.  Z

Z, you might be onto something.  I haven't seen this piece, myself, but I will be visiting the guy whose Explorer dropped this and I will check it out.  Thanks.  Any other ideas are welcome!

Any recent service on the X?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
