Ok, so I'm going to lunch with some co-workers and one of them has to get in the back seat. (it's the first time anybody sat there, maybe last). So I pull the front lever and the seat rolls forward and then I find the weirdest thing. Right by one of the seat rails was this tool. It was a flourescent green plastic tool that looked just like a miniature crowbar. Each end was curved up / down and had notches. Basically a small plastic crowbar looking thing. On one side was a brand name; "Tsunami". Any ideas as to what this is? Curious minds want to know.

 

Thats weird. It was all plastic? Maybe it was used for interior trim panel removal. I could use something like that for door panels

 

you have pics of it, Ive never noticed anything like that...was it attached to the seat?

 

well you made me look....and nothing. was it the passenger or drivers side? and do you have power seats?

 

It was on the passenger side floor and it was all plastic. There was no way to see it unless I moved the seat all the way front.

 

I came across this website. The logo at the top is the exact same one on the tool I found.

Tool left in the car would be my guess too. Looks like some of their products are related to the sound system.. they have amps, wiring kits, speaker grills and such.

 

interesting. I'd like to know what it is. If the notches are at the ends it does sound like a panel puller.

 

I moved both seats all the way forward and nothing.....

 

It's probably some type of tool used to pop off the panels or somehting. Certainly was weird where I found it though.

 

sorry, dp.

 

Had to be said...

 

Could it be something that was accidentally left in the car at the factory?

 

Somebody at the Flat Rock assembly line is looking for a flourescent green thingy and can't find it anywhere.

 

Tell him I am keeping it.

 

ok ok...I got off my lazy hiney and took a pic of it with my camera. Here it is:

 

Loooks like a door panel remover tool.

 

Well, I'M KEEPING IT! Maybe this is that Ford special, unlisted option that made my car worth $27k.

 

Looks like something you would use to remove the muffler bearings.

 

Cool! I want one! It does look like a trim removal tool, they're made of plastic to prevent damage to interior components. I imagine the factory uses bright colors like that so they'll notice if they're accidentally left in the car.
