Am curios ‘cause I don’t have a clue what this tool is used for. Was cleaning out the trunk on my Coupe, checking for any dampness/moisture (none found) and noticed this tool in the well. It has this printed on it: A 193 899 02 80
That's the tool used for manual operation of the convertible top; the pointy end is used for removal of the lower grille pieces. It should be kept available in the glove box, or in the net between the seat backs.

Reason: Afterthought.
Actually, Jim, you drive a coupe. In Coupes, it CAN be in the trunk, but in a ROADSTER leaving that in the trunk is the most stupid thing you can do.
I'd still put it up front, in case you must use it to get out of Park when electronics fail!
It'is for a roadster emergency top, tool to raise release the hydrolic pressure.so the top can be put up manually. If you would like to sell it mine is missing. email if me if you will sell. morvette2@yahoo.com.

There is a tool available for about $20, it is mainly for the roadster as it has the 6mm Allen key attached to it.
This tool pops up a lot here. Search for ‘tool, ala_xfire mentions it a lot.

The tool used to release the pressure would be the two appendages next to your thumb; use one of them to hold the switch down and pressure should release. If it will not, (and if the PTCM is confused, it wont) then using your two fingers to yank the pump fuse, that will release the pressure.
The tool in question is used to unlock and/or lock the tonneau lid latch during manual operation.
