Strap above cargo net in passenger footwell

I don't know what it's technical term is so I haven't found any info on it anywhere.

What's it's intended purpose and what do you guys actually use it for?

It's for holding something. If you push on the center of the plastic piece it releases and allow you to slide it back. Let go and it locks in place.

It's to hold your Vino in place. What kind of Mercedes owner are you?

In US, it's called a bottle holder. In Europe it is to hold wine and beer bottles. There is a "button" on one end of the strap, push on it and you can move it to make the top open more. For bigger bottles?

Useful for 1.5 liter bottles, the cup holders hold most .75 liter bottles pretty well!

I use it quite a lot and more useful than bottle holders or cup holders in the center console . Sliding mechanism works neatly and I wonder why W222 don't come with these

lot of other mercedes doesn't come with the under seat small compartment as well. Which I freaking love to use.
The new ones doesn't come with the holes/slots for the comfort box. Meaning, if you change your mind after you pickup your vehicle and add that part, you have to get it drilled yourself or go back to the dealer and shell out money for that.

IMO hardly worth the effort.

By leaving it in place, what problem does it create?
