Default Owner's Manual Holder/Jacket

We bought our 2013 RX350 used and it didn't come with the holder/jacket/whatever it's called for the manuals. Back in the day, this wouldn't be a big deal. But since all the literature is now the size of half of the Encyclopedia Britannica I had growing up, it's somewhat of an issue. Every time the glove box is opened, booklets come tumbling out. Anyone know if the holder/jacket can be purchased separately? I've looked on E-Bay, but the listings are just for the complete set of books and the holder/jacket.

Register on LexusDrivers.com and you will have full access to the electronic version of the manuals.
A lot more compact and lighter to carry.
Mine are collecting dust in the basement - no need to haul around unnecessary pounds of dead weight.

If you do insist on having manuals handy, try the secret compartment in the middle console between the seats.
It's got just enough space down there to stash the manuals.

I don't know if the "folder" is available, but you could just get a large velcro strap.

Can't imagine trying to keep the books in the glovebox.
The 'secret compartment' should really be called the 'manual compartment'.
It has the exact dimensions of the books and they don't lay down.
They are stored like they're on a library shelf.

The books stay in our glove box (on the shelf) quite well.

No room in our glove box, there are about a dozen 20% Off coupons from Bed Bath & Beyond.
Once I threw out all the expired coupons and the next time we were in Bed Bath & Beyond my wife chastised me in front of everyone because apparently those coupons never really expire even after the expiration date.
Everyone in line was holding seven to nine coupons and looking at me. And I was standing there with only two coupons. Two!

Anyway, my wife keeps everything in there.....except gloves.

Thanks everyone! I hadn't thought of Velcro...really good idea! I'll check on that secret compartment as well. I had no idea it was there. I'll give it a go and report back.
