R129 boot lid clip

[Biglee]

Does anyone know what the clip is supposed to hold on the bootlid of an early r129. It's to the right of the triangle at the back. Possibly the roof emergency spanner? Any pictures?

Pretty sure the roof spanner would just live in the toolkit rather than clipped inside the bootlid.

Do you mean this? In which case it's to hold the boot floor up.

See if this works. Same place doodle but mine definitely looks like it holds something.

Difficult to see detail in that pic.

As above, it receives a boot floor strap to hitch up the boot floor in order to free both hands to work in the spare wheel well.
