Well, if it came from within the window, chances are it pertains to a function of the window. Maybe water shielding for electrical connections? My first instinct is that its a plasitc foot for the bottom corner of your window's glass.
Take the afternoon to throughly get aquainted with your window's control mechanisms. Its like the good old days, find the differences between the ripped open door panels.

I've had at least one of those come off on every A4 i've tinted, there not important at all, If I remember correctly they dont actually touch or protect the glass at all. they just clip into the black metal piece that the top of the door panel sits on.
