Returned home after a long journey. Noticed an intermittent "squeak" that seemed to be coming from the driver's side of the car. Been driving for a couple of days and the squeak keeps appearing, every now and then. This morning I noticed what seems to be a bit of metal (roughly rectangular cross-section) on the lower part of the body, just behind the drivers side front wheel. (As in the photo, just below the gap between the door hinge. Car does need a wash.)
Tried removing it, but it doesn't seem to want to budge. I am now wondering if somehow this is part of the metal frame/structure of the car that has somehow managed to come through the plastic panel.
Am I being silly? Is it just debris and I'm just not using enough force to remove it?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
