Default Convertible - hidden storage tray revealed


How many folks are aware of this hidden storage tray behind the waterfall in the convertible? Goes the entire width of the waterfall.

That’s where they are putting the engine in the C8.

How are you accessing it? Can you get a pic with better light? Thanks.

To get a shot I pushed the driver seat back forward and pointed a flashlite while I took a pic. It is right in back of the waterfall between the 2 speakers. It is an actual tray that can hold things,

Waterfall doesn't move out of the way?

Interesting, but I would imagine that access and storage is kind of limited.

Is it actually INTENDED for storage or is the space just kind of there and CAN be used? What would you store there?

It's literally big enough to store a pair of 🕶️.

Not like the C6 , in which we could put a whole lot of stuff back there.

You can't.

You either have to reach when it's cycled completely or quick ****** something when the top is in motion.

Behind the waterfall.

Doubt it was actually intended for storage due to its location, but I find it odd that is is actually shaped like a storage tray for change, a phone, glasses, etc.

A great place to but small, hard items in case you don't have any other rattles to drive passengers nuts with.

So I had a 458 Spider and the BEST THING was being able to actually lower the rear window with the top up or down. My biggest problem with these hardtops is they really seem like targa's to me. You don't get the real feeling of open air.
