MGS5 rear floor (bulge)

This is definitely good news that it's not battery failure, weird that these are under the carpet though, and even weirder that there was originally no sign of them.

Thank goodness that was all it was I went out to check mine all looks fine.

Curious but satisfying outcome
Puzzled by how these could not have previously been spotted

My thoughts entirely ????.

A cube of white foam with a cutout inside,
Under the carpet, no purpose implied.
Is it a throne for a hamster to reign?
Or a boat for a pea when it’s caught in the rain?

Could it be glasses for giants at play,
Or a portal to somewhere two inches away?
A pillow for pixies, a cheese with no taste,
A gadget designed to take up some space.

We scratch at our heads and we scratch at our chins,
No clue where this curious object begins.
But isn’t it marvellous, wondrous, sublime—
A cube with no meaning, just passing the time!

Dealer rang today battery test are OK, they have found these under the carpet, don't know what they are or what they do as off yet, 1 more is wedged in there but will take a bit of getting out. The carpet was definitely flat before at least I can rest a bit better, but i have no explanation as to what has happened

They look like storage packing pieces that would have been used to support the windscreen or door window glass while in storage. My guess they were not taken off when the glass was fitted, fell in the footwell, and the carpet was installed over the top.

Lucky you I’m down in Kent and both dealers I have used have been mediocre at best

Have you tried Ancaster in Bromley?
