Unidentified Spring

Mirror springs, the springs that hold your exterior rear view mirror in place on the base so they don't "flap", look a lot like this. And they're quite strong. However, the more I look at this the more it appears to be too long for a mirror spring.
How's about the tensioning spring on the parking brake cable mechanism that's under the car?

The first thing I checked was the parking brake spring. It's not it. It's not the mirror spring either. That is much shorter than 5" (attached). I looked under the seat base and I see the flap cover, but the springs holding it are not it either. Maybe it's something further under the seat and I can't see it.
