Use the allen key & string as a simple plumb bob for checking your level when camping..! :idea:
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

Who? Allan?... Your off your noodle Anne.

The key and the cord are indeed for lowering a stuck roof, but not in the ways suggested earlier.... You tie the key to the cord, then hide in some nearby bushes with cord in hand, and the key on show... You wait for a passer by to try to grab the key, then you pull on the cord, effectively moving the key along the floor, the passer by will start to run along making a grab for the key,whilst not really paying attention to where he's going, at which point he'll slip on the strategically placed banana skin, go flying through the air, land on your freetop, and bring it plummeting back down into the closed position. That's what my logic tells me anyhow... :? (you don't need the engine running to close the roof that way either) :wink:
