Default Vert Owners!! does anyone make

Does anyone or have one of you made some type of tray/organizer for the trunk like they have for the coupes. I realize its hard to put you arm back due to the waterfall but was wondering if it is practical or not. Pics if you have any. Thanks Guys

I have never seen one. If you are just looking for a good place to put your drink, contact girl-in-a-box for awesome cupholders that stay out of the way when not in use.

One of our female members showed some samples of a CD holder that hangs behind the passenger seat. MAMotorworks also sells some boot organizers and cargo nets.

One of my buddies - Eddie44, took a couple of small plastic bins attached the hook part of the velcro to the bottom and stuck them right behind the seats. The ones he found were tall enough to hold everything in place, and didn't interfere with the top when it was folded under the tonneau cover. They actually look like they were made to fit back there!

Maybe he'll post a pic of them if he sees this thread.....

It would be cool if someone could come up with a replacement waterfall or mod an existing one to hinge at the bottom with storage inside.

When opened there could even be decent cupholders to use.

I was in Bed Bath & Beyond with my wife and ran across some clear plastic trays about 10" long and 3" wide . I stuck some velcro on the bottom side and "attached" them to the divider between the cabin and truck area. They have various sizes available. The ones I got, one for each side behind the seat backs, will hold sunglasses, cell phones, garage door openers, etc. It's not as handy as having something right at your fingertips on the dash or console, but it's not that bad to reach back there for something while driving.

Thanks,

I like that brian, looks like it would be short enough not to hit the top when down, let me know.

I'm waiting for someone to put a hinge on the waterfall and maybe expand the back a little to turn that into an auxilary storage area. Looks like wasted space right now.

Ok, ok, I know it houses the tonneau cover latch, but maybe there's something that could be done with it. Make a bigger box for it, maybe move it forward to add space.
