    If you lift up the tailgate to get to the boot, the parcel shelf lifts up too and there are two plastic bits that stick out near the back just outside the centre of the seat, thought it might be store a triangle or an umbrella, no idea, just curious to know that's all.

    I reckon it's to suspend 2 x shopping bags, or, a very slim umbrella LOL Or, a very naughty child :laughing:

    Different models store them in different places, but they use the same triangle
