Elastic gizmo under rear floor storage cover.

[Philip Western]

Can anyone enlighten me as to the purpose of the elastic black and yellow device that is attached to the underside of the lid that covers the underfloor storage at the very rear of my 17 plate Galaxy. It looks like it is to secure something but can’t for the life of me work out what, and nothing is mentioned in my hand book.

On European models, I guess it will be to secure the Red Warning Triangle.

OR ....

it is to hook up on to something above to keep the storage cover up while you get things out !!

Solved at last. It hooks over the top rubber seal to hold the storage lid open. Lid had never been attached properly as the hinge material secures under the rear seat covers. Fixed properly at last and hook is very useful. Thanks for all previous comments.
