Default Rear Storage

I did a search for this but got nothing. When I searched just 'storage' got all sorts of winter storage stuff.

I see the General has a bin that goes in the back, but what are some other options? I need something to keep stuff from sliding all around back there and since the roof stays off (in its cradle) its a real PITA to fish stuff out.

Thanks

Having the roof stored back there really limits what you can do. Otherwise for keeping groceries and stuff like that from sliding around the back I got a couple of file storage crates from Staples. They are similar to milk crates. You can easily fit two across the back and they will each hold 3 or 4 full plastic grocery bags. And they come in a variety of colors.

It's called the cargo mini tote.

Im guessing you have a garage queen... I actually use mine and enjoy doing everything with it. It is a perfectly good grocery getter among other things. Sorry if that disapoints you. While you save yours for the next buyer, I enjoy mine every day...

Exotic vette, a forum vendor, sells a cargo partition which is extremely handy. It allows you storage area behind the seats and separates the passenger area from the cargo area.

This is it and I'm very happy with it. You can store your roof with the partition in place unlike other partitions.

Check out the Exotic Vette partition. It looks stock and creates a nice space just behind the seats with a lip on the front where you can put things without them rolling around and getting lost in the back. The top will still stow with the partition in. When you use the sunshade it also totally conceals everything in the hatch area.

Here's a Forum sale link...

I use this Cargo Organizer from AutoSport. I originally purchased it for the trunk in my wife's car. I decided to try it in the C6, noted it fit perfectly between the wheel wells, and ordered a 2nd. You do not have to remove it in order to store the roof panel, as it folds flat when needed.

Very well said.

I do have a beater, but its no fun to drive. If I know in advance I'm going some place with no good parking I use it.

For everything else, I look forward to driving the vette everywhere. Even if I just go to and from work, its like two 20 minute vacations.

I have two of the "behind the seat storage pouches" in my 2008 coupe and they are very useful. Anyone know if they will fit in my future Vert?
