Discover plastic clip inside..
Guys, if you look inside your trunk next to the light, what is this plastic clip for? Is that for the optional Luggage Compartment Drawer? Thanks!

I already try that, and I did want to push to far back. Dont want to break it. Do you think it installed backward ? I did not try to remove and flip it around. |

I'm with you on this one - The clip seems wrong to me. I think the hinge should be on the other side.

It is indeed to hold the floor compartment door up. Works fine on mine. You need to push it firmly past the resistance. I think it's spring steel, not plastic. Either way it shouldn't break.

True, but if not it probably wouldn't hold. Then we'd all bitch about that.

Just push the door hard enough to pass the plastic piece. It shouldn't break.

you shouldnt have to put any grease or "lubricants" on the thing, it should slide in place pretty easily, all you have to do is push slightly harder to get it into the right spot. (sh*t, that came out wrong )

Good question.
I've been hanging groceries from it. My question is, why would we need to have the lid held up? This implies you need both hands to take something out and there isn't enough room down there for anything that requires both hands to move!

Well, I just tried it out and, while I am always happy to find a new feature of my car, I gotta say this one is my least favorite. I hope it comes in handy during the lifetime of my car.

Throw your hands in the air, if you's a true playa.
