brake pedal hook/clip?

[DietGarfield]

I was messing around the inside of my car earlier, and... dont ask me how, because i sure as hell dont know... my wrist or elbow or something I guess hit the backside of my break pedal... and broke off what looks like a hook or a clip.

the is now a rubber flap that is on the right side wall of the pedal, that i dont think was there earlier, but could have been, considering i dont examine the pedal that closely.

The clutch and break are two different designs of pedals, so i couldnt look at the clutch for reference.

Anyone know what this clip is? is that rubber flap always there? any insight to help repair the results of my stupidity?

I think the flap has always been there, and it seems like the hook just goes inside that little casing... for what? is it as completely useless as it looks?

dude - two blurry 2,304 x 1,728 pictures?
Doesn't matter how many pixels you include, blurred is blurred.
Would be easier if you cropped and scaled to about 800 pixels by ...

Anyway, I also have a 6 mt.
It would appear that flap is to discourage the operator from moving the foot under the brake pedal
when switching from the accelerator.

Until you pointed it out, I never noticed it was there.

Mine is still intact ...

not even noticeable from normal viewing angle ...

easier to see from the right side


somewhat visible from the left


not so visible from the back


So DSG owners- does your brake pedal have a right side flap too?

the pictures in the image shack links are not big at all... blurry yes, they were real quick shots before work.

anyway, thanks a lot for those pics. Now all i gotta do is figure out where that little hook came from.
