Piece Hanging In Trunk

[Arn]

2020 GT Convertible, there is a black plastic piece about 2"x3" hanging down on the left side in the trunk. It looks to have a glass fuse stored in it & I can see where it is supposed to snap into place. There isn't enough slack to pull it to snap it back in.

Anyone able to tell me what it is & am I okay to try & pull it to try & get it into place?

Where exactly is it located? Perhaps a wider view would help.
I did look on the left (drivers) side of my '18 EB convertible and didn't see anything resembling that.

Apparently its not a fuse. These 67 year old eyes just don't work like they used to.

Looks like some seatbelt webbing, but far to weak assembly for rear belts

Tension strap for the top. You need to drop the top slightly to put back in place. There are plastic tabs that snap in place. You may find that one is broken…and this is why it is dropping out when you lower the top. Luckily, there is a small hole in the deck that matches up to a hole in the clip and you can use a suitable sized screw (not to long) and a washer to hold it in place. This is what I did with mine.

Thanks, I did exactly that yesterday & wondered if it would stay in place the next time I dropped the top. I think I'll do your screw trick just to be sure. Cheers!

If the tabs are broken, it will drop right back out. If not, you may have just bumped it with something that you put in the trunk enough to pop it out.
