Default What Am I Missing?

While cleaning out the trunk space of my new-to-me 2018 FTR, I noticed 2 elastic band loops attached to the rear of the cargo area floor. After a bit of google-fu, I discovered some pictures of a long, green rectangular package banded by these elastic loops that I imagine came with each FTR from the factory. I don't have this elusive green package .... can anybody tell me what I might be missing?

Emergency triangle? Remove from case, unfold it and place it at a distance from your broken down vehicle at the roadside ,,,, Or could be a Jaguar umbrella?

In mine, it's my wheel torque wrench (a bit bigger than that!).

The emergency triangle was not provided in these cars for North America, but the elastic loops were. Those elastic loops in my car are used to hold the Jaguar umbrella (!), also not standard equipment.

Umbrella holder as others have suggested. I purchased a cheap black golf umbrella that is used in that location.

Weird. Did not know I was supposed to keep an umbrella there. But I've never had any problem without one, so not to worry apparently.

"What am I missing?"
You are missing the point!!
An umbrella with an F-Type is de rigeur!
Do not leave home without one.

Thanks for everyone's help to solve this mystery for me. I have to admit that I hoped it to be more than an umbrella holder, though...... and still want to hold on to hope that it is for something else!
Maybe I AM missing the point ......

6. Baseball bat.
(You know, to keep in hand when driving through risky neighborhoods with the top down)

PS, our 'Vert has the straps for the umbrella too, at the rear of the luggage compartment.

Perhaps it is to hold a proper British gentleman's sword cane ? A useful accessory in a lot of America's big cities these days.
