Feeling like I should be blonde...
Alright, lets see how many "Duh"s I get. lol
So here i am looking through some threads around here & see something about a storage compartment where the spare tire is.. I knew i had one & didn't really discover where it was until that photo. I just ignored it & thought "yeah right its just where the spare tire is, theres not storage in there..." Today, I'm looking through my car pulling out all the clothes & stuff that has mysteriously accumulated in my little hatchback beauty when... whats this?? Im looking up at the steering wheel from the bottom & I see a latch.. I pull it.. THERES A WHOLE OTHER COMPARTMENT RIGHT BEHIND THE FREAKIN STEERING WHEEL I NEVER KNEW EXISTED!!! Yes I'm sure most all of you have found this but, having my car for a year and just NOW finding it... I feel pretty dumb. & I also found that compartment by the spare tire... It now holds my crappy back up GPS that i hope somehow disappears. lol.

Welcome to the club, I had a moment myself not too long ago. For about 2 years I would carry stuff in the back of my LB and always complain about the gap between the false floor and the rear seat. Until I see a pic here on yw.com and lo and behold the false floor flips out to cover it out! That coulda saved me tons of trouble when packing for road trips! LOL

shes talking about the other one behind the steering wheel, its about 12+ inches long and about 5+ inches deep. If you get on your knees at the driver door stick your head under the steering wheel on the left side and look up at the dash you will see the latch is to the right of the smaller compartment that you know of by the steering wheel. Of course if you are in Europe then I guess just read everything I wrote backwards and you'll figure it out

A friend of mine has a key to my car so I used to come outside after work with the mirrors flattened and every compartment in the car open^-^ I learned where they all were quickly...You do know that the dash has hide-away cupholders right? Oh and that there is two more glove compartments on the passenger side...I didnt find the one in the fusebox cover till I put my neons in>.<

wiirenet, this is what I was talking about. See how it flips over to cover the gap between the false floor and the backseat?

You need to pull your rear seats to forward before laying them down.
