Default Another Boot Mistery

Putting my lights back in, had a bit of nose in the sides and noticed this odd thing.

It looks adjustable.
The white bit on the side moves with no real resistance.



Any ideas?

Is it an adjustment for the rear bumper

I have wondered this is the past. I have one too.
I wondered if it was for the folding towbar if fitted?
As I saw one in an A6 and the mechanism was in the same place.
You cranked some handle there and it came out from under the bumper.

I got a tow bar but its not a flip down one.

I need to take the bumper off so I'll add that to the list.
