Jealous of all the liftback's glove boxes - Toyota Yaris Forums

supmet · 02-23-2009, 12:39 AM

So I just recently found out that the liftbacks have two more glove boxes than the sedans. Is it possible to add the two extra glove boxes to the sedan? Is there anything under the dash on the sedan that isn't on the liftback?

I just went out and ripped the glove box out of the car and checked it out. There is definitely room on the passenger side, and a support bar that looks like the box could mount too. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be in the way of the airbag either. I also looked behind the steering column and it looks like there is room in there too.

This might be something I have to look into

You definitely can do some custom work to add the two glove boxes. One idea may be to go to the junk yard and get the two glove boxes off a liftback and blend it with your car :) maybe once you have a nice fit then paint the dash or cut those dash covers that people put.

Most of my glove boxes and storage space goes unused. I was never used to having this much storage space and it's taking awhile to find things to put in them.

It's the principal of it! I WANT MY GLOVE BOXES! (I might just have to buy a pair)

808_Yaris · 02-23-2009, 06:01 AM

good luck finding them!

rningonfumes · 02-23-2009, 06:07 AM

No, I mean a pair of gloves. It's a bit chilly. AND then I will need a convenient glove box right in front of me to put them in!

I might have a pair down the road, take them off and reach for the box in front of me and then curse in dispair at the Toyota manager who decided to "deferentiate" the sedan and the hatch.

What are you guys after, a car or a storage unit?? I've got so many storage spots in my sedan that I lose track of what is in them. Recently, I found a CD that I thought I had lost...

I love my driver side glovebox. Here's what I did on mine:

These pics. are from my '07 LB. In my '09 LB, the cigarette lighter / 12V port in the glovebox is almost up against the coin holder on the left side of the glovebox.

I looked over both Liftback and Sedan before I purchased by Liftback. That was one of many points I liked about the Liftback over the Sedan.

The bonus gloveboxes would be nice but I'll take my trunk over them, everyday.
