Default Storage for Unmbella under passenger seat 2013RX

How many of you have discovered the nice holder for a small/compact umbrella under the front bottom of the passenger seat? I have one stored there and almost forgot about it.

Sure enough it's there on the bottom front between the leather and plastic base. I would have never noticed it.

Large golf umbrella in cargo area works just fine for me.

Umbrellas? Who uses umbrellas? We use umbrellas here (Seattle) to figure out who the tourists are.

On a serious note, I checked my '13 and see what the OP is talking about, though it would never occur to me to use that location for storage of anything. It's on both the driver and passenger seat.

I noticed that a while back and just dismissed it as the plastic being designed for models with the power thigh support extension, but it never occurred to me to use it as a small umbrella shelf. Nice find!

It's on earlier RXs too. I keep two compact umbrellas in the glove compartment.

Now I have a place for my pen
