Default #Glove #Box Storage Options

Hey Folks, Anyone know what the elastic on the roof of the glove box is intended for? I was organizing my the other day and noticed it.

There's also two switch banks inside (one rectangular and one round) What were these intended for?

Get the brick manual out of there lol. I do like this option.

Great idea. Just have to remove every time you change the cabin filter

ive never noticed that elastic strap in my glovebox!

ive also wondered about those blanks. The round one looks like it would be a 12v lighter socket.

That’s correct. I have retrofitted a 12v power socket and USB power sources in that rectangle opening next to the 12v socket.

As Bob shows in video if you install with that flexible piece slanted to the side it goes in pretty easily. I agree... it is something extra to deal with on cabin filters but seems easy to remove. I don't leave my bulky owner's in the vehicle.
