Just in front of the driver? That's the saddle that holds the testing equipment on the car. It sits over the top of the tub.

Sorry. I thought that he was referring to the apparent opening at the front end of the renault sticker. Couldnt see any other sign of an opening. Should have gone to Specsavers. :oops:
