I just purchased a new LC500. In the glove box I found an Allen key looking tool that was inside a plastic pouch. Can anyone tell me what this key is for?

 

I found that under the passenger seat, wondering the same.

 

It's used to crank closed the convertible top in the event of an electrical failure. See page 339 of the owner's manual. It's a difficult, multi-stage, two-person process best never to be used. (Just throw out the car and buy a new one - it will be much easier.) And now I have to go figure out where I stowed that tool.

 

Thanks for your help on this one. I just read the procedure and it is not something I would want to attempt. If the roof ever did fail I guess I would be left crying in the rain.

 

if you're going to throw the car out, save that Allen key then because if it's the same size, it can loosen a stuck garbage disposal
