Odd item in trunk W116
In my new-to-me W116 I found something odd in the trunk. On the left had side towards the front of the trunk there is a little cut out in the cardboard (?) liner, a kind of window. When pulling back that window there is a little tool(?) snapped into a bracket. It's about 2 and half inches long, a hex nut like part about 2/3 along and a kind of large straight slot screwdriver end on it. Is the tool for manually operating the sunroof? If so, where do I insert it?

I think most of the manual sunroof gizmos are on the right up above the wheel well in the trunk.

We have a new to us 116, and like the 123 that tool does go on a fitting about 4 inches aft of that tool bracket to open the sunroof manually. The car manual shows a tool to use with it (maybe it is the tire iron, but it could be another small bar that fits over that tool).
