This part was in my glovebox - does anyone know what it is and where it goes in the car?






Thanks!

The pictures do not show, but if it is a Z shaped Allen wrench, you use it to crank the sunroof closed in case of an electrical malfunction. There is a wee hole where you insert the tool.

That looks to me like a plastic cap for something (to cover a bolt head/nut??)

I was thinking it's a cover as well. From the bottom there are two clips where those notches are. It's as if it slides into something and uses the clips to lock into place. I have the light gray interior, so if it's inside the car it goes somewhere around the seats maybe? Or could it go in the trunk as that is all black as well. Keep the feedback coming and thanks for the suggestions so far!

Could it be a trunk lock cover?

I can't check since I traded my car but it looks like the cover from the end of the seat track rails as Sunny suggested.

So that's what that Z wrench is for. Thanks. I thought the PO had left it by mistake..
