Glove compartment clips?

I know this has been discussed before but what are those clips in the glove compartment for?

Nope. You'll find that tool in the trunk, with your tire changing tools.

Maybe in the W203 but not in the W220.
...Except that we're not talking about W220's on this forum.

The crank for the sunroof is too long and too thin to clip in the glove box mounts (on the W203). Instead, on my W203, the crank is in the trunk, as noted.

Must be slow on the S-Class forum.

Oh yeah? Gotta remember to toss it in the trunk; MB just chucked it in the glove box where it looked a bit out of place until I covered it with my utensils. It looked so 'Nissan' in there all by itself... :p
