Some loose screws found! Need some help!

This one was under the passenger seat.

They look like bolts from in the dash somewhere. Probably a mechanic in the past lost them under the seat while working on the car. They don't belong to the seat if that's what you're thinking.

here's the one under the driver's seat

When I get time I am going to search throughout the car to find missing holes or the same screws.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The bottom picture of the screws looks like it is for the kick panels under the dash, but those two you just showed us definately go in or on the dash.

I think I know where the bottom one goes... I've noticed my steering column plastic at the dash has no screws... that maybe where it goes. It makes sense since it was under the driver's side seat. Thankyou!

I was wrong. I looked everywhere... cannot find anywhere that is missing screws. While I was in there I tightened screws in the sunroof and the doors.

My wife tells me I have a few screws loose and or lost some, I never thought to look under the seat

I'm always finding hardware in or around my car. It ends up on the console tray, because I am afraid to throw a vital screw away. As a person with two thumbs, usually the ones I lose are the most proprietary and hard to find pieces of hardware ever made. Or I will blow a fuse on my Makita charger that is soldered to the PC board, proprietary, and only available at obscure Makita repair places miles away from civilization. Sorry to digress.
