    That was my first hunch but why only on driver side? That's what made me lift the hood. Maybe you are correct but it is directly under the rear edge of battery support table? Thought provoking for sure

    It's the tie down point for the rattle in the glove box and the howl from the front end

    I called parts today at my dealer. Their best guy can't find it on any diagram, knows no service or sales person that knows why it is there. At least he is honest. I am sticking with my guess ( battery support table stiffener) . Likely no one knows unless affiliated with design team.

    It's a Nascar camera mount for road course races, allows you to watch the drivers heel toe procedure for the gas and brakes.
