Anyone know what this part is/what it does?

Hi all,

I removed the glove compartment as I was changing the cabin pollen filter and noticed something odd in the car and wondering what it is or what it is for. It is located on the left hand side of the glovebox area when it is removed. Is it meant to be connected to anything?? It is just hanging loose and can be moved up and down by hand as seen in the pictures.

Thanks.

Its a damper for the glove box lid, the hole on the end pulls down and fits over a pin on the LH side of the glovebox
