Owner's manual

Where do you guys keep the leather cover that has all the booklets and the car documents? I couldn't fit it into the glove box, and behind the seats seems pretty awkward..

i shoved it into the ski pass thru opening since i'll never use that.

actually, i've noticed a cubby hole. in the left hand side of the trunk, there's a little turn knob, open it and that's pretty deep but i haven't tried to put anything there.

mine is under the passengers seat, but it fits just fine in my glove box... i just like to put other stuff there.

I keep mine in my house!

I've got mine in the trunk under the storage strap.
I've got the main manual in the glovebox.

The leather cover and all the manuals *will* fit in the glove box. It will fit if you put the slimmer end in first, and angle it such that the latch is cleared. Makes the glove box pretty useless afterwards though.

Keeping it in the house works for me.

I can fit it in my glove box too, the same way you describe. However, I have heard if you have the CD changer in the glove box then that doesn't work.

I always keep mine in the house.

really? Maybe in the US you guys have a smaller leather cover? I will try again today, but it seemed by far impossible when I tried first.. cheers

I've more than enough (...) place for the leather cover stuff in the glove box, without the CD changer option though...

msimon18 · 11-22-2009, 06:32 PM

I think I will tie mine to the tow hook...

rasputin · 11-23-2009, 08:18 AM
