Re: GT Glove Boxes In boot - How do you use yours?
Sorry for the hijack Jimmy but going off topic slightly, where do people keep the Car Instruction book/Service book in their 156?
Mine is floating around the boot at the mo!
The glove box is tiny! Just big enough to fit my sun glasses in!!  |

i keep all documentation in the document wallet, safely stored in the house. it adds value, prevent theft, and also makes it easier for you to organise service/tax/mot/insurance if everything is in one easy to access place indoors.

Re: GT Glove Boxes In boot - How do you use yours?
In my GT I have rain water in one storage box and the manual binder and some cloths in the other.
Hopefully after today, no more rain water.

I used to keep the manual binder in the boot of my 156, secured with the velcro strap. |

I find my halfords digital tyre inflater fits perfectly in the left hand one, and it's just tight enough to not rattle - unlike the parcel shelf :-)

Re: GT Glove Boxes In boot - How do you use yours?
Ha ha, you guys are crazy - Cheese, borrowers, lager and a life raft. Might not be putting any of those in but will go for cleaning kit, breakdown kit, tyre pressure gauge and possibly the sat nav.
I heard a rumor that thieving toerags can detect the sat nav in your car even if it is switched off. Is this true or poppycock?

Re: GT Glove Boxes In boot - How do you use yours?
I think they can "detect" the circular sucker marks on the windscreen if you use a windscreen mounted one, otherwise, not as far as I know.
Anyway - as for boot stuff - I keep a can of Selenia in the boot of my 156, tethered with the velcro strap.

Re: GT Glove Boxes In boot - How do you use yours?
Mine has log book etc (as it doesn't fit in the front glove box), locking wheel nuts. Then the other a spare dog lead, dog treats & dog sh*t bags (just to be clear they are un-used!!)
