mystery item found under car

Hi guys.
Found this plastic, hollowed out, cylindrical object under my car. It could be from something else, I am not sure. The garage is spotlessly clean, so it is unlikely that it is from something else. any ideas?.. found under a 2002 C230K, in the center of the car on the floor.

Does it have a part number? If not then its not a Benz part.

Looks like one of dozens of plastic doo-hickeys found in every car.
A washer or space washer if you will. Similar to when your guiding wire through metal it would have a plastic ring around the metal chase so the wires do not get chaffed. That's my guess mate.
