P38A What's this thing called Love?

No, I meant can you tell me what this is please?
It was in my centre bin along with the little leather wallet/tube thingy that holds the wheel-nut key/socket.
I have been puzzling over what it is for ages. It seems related to the car and not just a piece of junk.
A key to something?

It is the key for you sunroof
If you can’t close it with power
There is a slot in the sunroof motor
You use it to close sunroof manually

It's the key to my heart... oh no... my mistake it's not... it's the wrong shape. Soz

If you ever have to, count the number of turns & let us know. As you will only be turning the motor I'd guess an awful lot

If it makes you feel any better I've a RRC with the sunroof retro-fitted by the PO, not only do I not have a key but not even a bloody hole to put it in. Reckon it will be a partial headlining removal job if the SR ever packs up in the open position

We all know the size & preferred shape of the key to your lock-box/heart I think LOL

Do one ;-)

You’ve been wondering what that was for an age

I remember you asking long time ago, who would have thought everybody knew

mikieman · Jun 5, 2019

I have used the key on the 91
I turned it till it closed
Didn’t count the turns
So I’m going to say
875 is my guess

A flat blade mounted in a battery electric drill does the job.

I think you have to take the light out to find the keyhole
