How do you utilize the extra glove compartment? - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

RobotMan · 09-15-2007, 09:33 PM

Driver's Side:
Sunglasses (when not wearing them)
Spare change
Receipts for gas, etc.
Pens
Epi-Pen (when it isn't in my door pockets)

Passengers side upper:
Random crap/empty

Passengers side lower:
Yaris manuals
Registration
Proof of Insurance

Yeah, I try to keep the car MOSTLY clean. I actually use one of the compartments on the sides of the center console for trash too.

Window ice scraper and Canadian Tire moneys.

Kilo of black tar heroin... but seriously, this car would be great for small time drug mules and those that drink and drive. I made some joke to the dealer about that and I thought that for a second he wasn't going to sell me the car for offending his sensibilities. I find it a constant struggle to keep enough crap in all the possible places.

I kept my journal in the glove box in front of me, legal stuff and manual in the glove box and a stack of cds on the glove box above that.

Mine houses a Wayfinder V2020 compass/wireless thermometer. With the base pointed straight back it's nice and secure and doesn't clutter up my dashboard or windshield.

I don't have my Yaris LB yet but my plan for the driver side glove box is to flush mount an ipod universal dock in it and then run the dock cable through the back of the glove box and into a new head unit. That way the cabling is all behind the dash.

What I really want is a way to mod the glove box lid so that it will have a smoke tinted sliding plastic window.

one of the first things i did was buy a microfiber glove from pep boys and put it in the third glove box behind the wheel...its so handy to be able to just pull it out and give the dash and console a quick wipe down...looking show ready at all times!

Regarding the glove compartment on driver's side. The spring component was not available for my vitz and so glove compartment did not lock up as it should. I managed to get one from my dealer. I have tried all kinds of positions for this spring to be in its place correctly but I never managed. Has someone already replaced/changed/inserted the spring and might help me by providing some guidance/technique on how this should be applied? If photos are provided it will be highly appreciated.
