What fell off of my car?
Good evening,
On my way home from work a few weeks ago I was unable to avoid a small piece of retread and it hit the bottom of my 2012 Fusion. I didn't think anything of it until I noticed two odd fabric straps hanging a couple of inches down from the bottom of my car as I walked toward it from some distance. I have attached a couple of pictures and I am hoping someone may be able to identify what may have been held on by these straps. I am assuming some sort of heat shield or cladding of some sort. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you.

Easiest thing to do would be to find a "LIKE" buggy(s) and take a Peek-See under it. The straps just may be something used during assembly like the "PANIC PLUG" (what I call it as people panic when they see it) that is knocked into the tranny pan when they install the dip-stick tube.
