What are these weird rubber things in the trunk of my new 2025 Camry XLE?

The part number on one of them is 53852 06180.

I tried googling it and it says it is for the last generation of Camry so not sure why it is in my trunk.

Hmmm. Looking up that part number, perhaps they belong in the front wheel wells?

The Front Wheel Opening Extension Pad Left Hand (#53852-06180) functions as part of the Suspension Crossmember & Under Cover system in the vehicle's body. This crucial auto part serves to protect the wheel opening from accumulated dirt, debris, and occasional impacts that can occur while driving. In operation, it offers a barrier and deflects harmful elements away from the inner workings of the wheel assembly

It might be worth having your dealer service verify you have the parts installed.

Looks like it's a front NVH insulator for 2018-2024 V6 Camry's only, would love to know how it ended up in the trunk of a 2025. People were probably moving inventory off the line to put into storage and just tossed a pair into a passing assembly thinking it would give the new owner something to ponder.

They were supposed to be installed during PDI. I bet million bucks they were supposed to be installed directly next to front wheels on the front.

I have done numerous cabin filter inspections on Toyotas and dealer installed PDI parts were STILL in the glove box. I even installed frame plugs on 75k mile Gen 7 Camry that a lazy POS tech didn't do.
