Default arrr..driver's seat rattles on turns..help identifying if this part came off

it started during the NorCal Marin drive last weekend. It sounds like crayons rolling around inside a plastic box when i turn. I found this pin on the floor:

does anyone know if this is something that fell off the seat? thanks

Hmmm. Looks like a hardened alignment pin of some kind?

Looks like a alignment pin from a short shift install

Default ok i found the problem...

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/1515/dscn1517.jpg" width=640 height=480 border=1>

there is a plastic vent under the seat (for the A/C or something?) which had an AA battery in there. It's waaay in there so I'll have to find a steep incline that I can park on to get it out. My rear Audisport rubber mat actually covered the bottom half of the vent opening so the battery wouldn't have come out on its own. phew..glad it wasn't something with the seat itself.
