Does anyone have the strange little tool they mention, in the manual, for removing the front grill for towing and putting the top up if something goes astray? If you do, where was it. I believe I may not have gotten one.

 

i have one, but i think I had to ask the dealer for it.

 

If you bought the car new, where would it be?

 

i did buy it new. if it did come with and in fact I didn't have to ask the dealer fore it (bad memory) it was in the storage compartment between the seats.

 

correct; its in the storage pouch between the seats -- well it should be anyway.

 

If you are talking about the long thin black thing that sort of resembles an open end box wrench, mine was, and still is in the pouch between the seats.

 

The multi tool can be found in the cargo net behind the seats, or in the glove box or trunk. It is placed by the factory in the cargo net behind the drivers seat.

 

I also have one, but can't figure out what it does. I use it to pop my hub caps, I have no idea what the open end portion does?

 

Mine was located in the glove box. Fits nicely at the bottom and doesn't take up much room.

The owner's manual has several places where it mentions the use of this tool, just take a gander though it and you will find them. (I don't have mine here or I would quote pages for you).

Cheers!

 

The open end wrench part is to manually raise or lower the top on the Roadsters.

 

~ this is where i found mine as well.

here is a pic of the metal tool:

~ i use my drivers license to remove my center caps... this is my scratch free method.

 

My scratch free method is a popsicle stick.

 

I'm more concerned about the emergency convertible top tool.

 

According to the manual it is also used to remove part of the front grill for towing up on a flatbed hauler. There is a hook up point hidden behind one of the lower grills.

 

My tool, and it is a strange looking bit of kit, came in a plastic packet in the glove box which is where it still is.

 

If I bought my car certified used from a Chrysler dealer, could I request for the tool? I could not find it in my car. How much is it if I wanted to get it?

 

If you bought a certified car, they need to give you every item that comes with the car, less any promotional items.
