Lightbulb Please Tell Me What This Is (NEW PIC!)

I can't figure out what to do with this tool. It came with the grille next to the glue.

I have never seen that in my life, but whatever it is, it looks broken.

OK, I win....

it's for the glue/adhesive. You're supposed to put the tube into this tool and gently twist it so it flows evenly and without big globs coming out. No, it's not broken. Europeans think in advance, before it's too late to rip the part off again, sand/scrape off the excess adhesive, and try to re-apply (which it won't).
Sorry, I just sold a bunch of body kits in the old days....

its the schatz grille with emblem in the middle. The emblem is not attached you have to glue it on... I cant figure out why the buyer has to attach it.

You're supposed to put the tube into this tool

You slide the narrow tapered end of the tube of glue into the holder like you're using a carabiner. Insert the flat corner of the tube under the mid open area. Slide the tube towards the t-handle until it's fully in and then slide it back away from the t handle, seating it underneath the forward part.

If done correctly the handle is now perpendicular to the tube. By twisting the handle you "roll up" the tube from the narrow end, forcing the glue to come out at an even controlled pace.
