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.

In my left side glove box I keep my emergency window hammer, a collapsable umbrella, some eyeglasses wipes, a pen and a garage door opener over the coin holders. I also have an anti slide rubber liner.

TinyGiant · 10-01-2009, 01:10 PM

change, busines cards and my sunglasses normally. also bank deposit slips.

DevilGirl · 10-01-2009, 02:03 PM

change (in the change holder), record log for mpg tracking, pen, more change....

RedRide · 10-01-2009, 02:35 PM

For my compartment behind the steering wheel, it has evolved to hold a couple of screw drivers, spare bulbs, insurance card , a pen with a small pad of paper and a few other small items.

Inspector14 · 10-01-2009, 02:44 PM

still have some of my purchase papers in there, and a couple of pens.

will be keeping my Ruger LCP in there when i am driving. also will add my registration and insurance card in there too!

on the left- small compartment (lighter, wallet sometimes, music player sometimes) behind steering wheel (quarters, dollar bills, the bad habit of gum packs)
on the right- top (buddhist prayer beads that i don't seem to use hah, film cannisters, microfiber cloths for glasses and stuff, napkins i seem to collect, cellphone crap) and regular glove (regular glove stuff)

nothing too fancy and quite boring tbh! hah

Garage door opener, streetwise map, and a post-it note pad for directions.

Fun Fact: Post-it notes fit between the upper seam of the glovebox door and the dashboard and stand up perfectly, good for directions.

SailDesign · 10-01-2009, 03:33 PM

Right now, Kleenex, earpiece for the cellphone, remote cord for the Aux jack, mini parafoil kite (for those long traffic jams)

KCALB SIRAY · 10-01-2009, 05:18 PM

I have 12 nice pretty yellow tickets from the good people of Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax that I didn't have to pay for =)

In Australia a "dunny" is a slang word for toilet..... You keep a toilet on your dash? Must come in handy, Toilet paper must be on the rear view

kac · 10-01-2009, 06:01 PM

scanguage and a few papers... and sunglasses

CtrlAltDefeat · 10-01-2009, 06:23 PM

Altoids, hair brush, pen, change (natch!) and sunglasses. All the things you might need quickly...

birdman · 10-02-2009, 02:37 AM
