Back cargo compartment - means there is a "key lock" in the flat/floor handle for the spare tire compartment..

If someone can post pics that would help me. This was an option I ordered but appears was not installed.

No problem. Maybe you can retrofit a handle insert with a lock?

It is both the "lock" - and I think for the GLS450 it also adds the insert "tray"

Thanks!

My 2017 GLS has the tray insert but no lock.

My dealer is looking into what options I have. It's a special order item.

Here's a pic of the handle without the lock.
