My wife recently backed my 1996 c280 (with only 70k miles!) into a tree. No one was hurt thankfully, but I had to replace the trunk and rear bumper. The body shop sourced a trunk, did the work and everything looks great. One odd thing though: The "new" trunk has this odd little orange and green doohickey next to the lock. The original trunk didn't have this. Anyone know what it is? Danke.

 

Guessing this should be posted in the W202 section, not the W205 section.
