Default OK... I'll bite!

Just bought a new tank protector & pocket. I have it installed, and when I opened it up, I found this "ribbon". What the HECK is that for!?

I don't have one and not sure, but I would think it was to make it easier to get what ever you put in there out with gloves on. Kind of like the ribbons inside a battery compartment of toys and stuff, to make them easier to get out. Just a guess though.

Obviously you've never opened a remote control.....where is has that little white ribbon so that with one quick pull, you can get all the batteries out....

It's your seatbelt, don't let a LEO see you without that tied to your belt! I hear it is a $150 ticket now!
