hey guys, first time poster here


i recently had my rx8 towed out of my garage due to flooding... when it was being towed, the guy went under the car near the front wheels and pulled a small rubber piece from each side. He put them in the cup holder, and i just assumed the auto mechanic (it was being towed there) would put them back in place. So i got a call from my auto mechanic and said my rx8 was ready, when i picked it up the rubber pieces were still in the cup holder.


So i drove it home... so i guess it's not anything important but i'm just wondering what they are, if they need to go back in place, why the tow truck guy pulled them off..


heres a pic





so i was wondering if someone could tell me what they are.. and where they go that'd be great.


also side note, i looked at several videos on the de-flooding procedure. i tried holding down the gas and cranking it for 10 seconds, then 5 seconds of no gas cranking.. did that until my battery started dying, no luck. Knowing that i have no mechanical training, is de-flooding something simple that can be done myself? I read something about unplugging the fuel line fuse but decided against it since the towing was free from my insurance, and i know my auto mechanic very well and he said it wouldn't cost much. Just curious because i like to do things myself if at all possible.


thanks!

 

That is the anchor point for when he tows the car. Most cars don't have those plugs in so he probably just forgot to put them back for you.

 

Awesome thanks. I found those holes there when I looked but just wanted to be sure before I put them somewhere they don't belong lol

Thanks again for the pic
