Is this a start of a trend for the appreciation of other often ignored parts of our cars?

Glove box lining, for example?

Nige :biggrin:

Nice one !

Even better, how about a competition to see who can cram the most in to that sorry excuse for a glove box !!

Then again, maybe not - it's a dead cert that one of the lady owners
would win :biggrin:.....OUCH!!!

Its even worse for me , i have the optional credit card holder in my glove slot. ( its too small for a box )

It sits in the middle and takes up all the space.

Maybe it is for only one glove at a time?

I mean it is called a glove box....Not gloves box, innit!

hehe still totally useless even now I know what it is. MB could have mounted it to one side of the glove box but no... it's slap bang in the middle taking up all the space.

Can i enter the crappy Glove box competition please....as i feel i have a fair contender.

As for the cup holder, alas, back in the days of the 190....no one had cups. :-(

Mine has rather interesting louvres on the flap. Allegedly they are for credit cards & coins....but I am not buying it.  I think they must have some religious significance!

Arghhh.  After all the excitement of finding out they exist - I can't get to the stealership tomorrow to get a cup-holder cos my 'work hack' ( an 8 yr old Cavalier ) has a collapsed strut top bearing, so the missus will have to give me a lift into work tomorrow in the merc and leave me stranded without transport.  Suppose I could ask her to pop into the stealership on the way home, but I think I'd better wait until she's not around before getting my snazzy cupholder ( forgiveness is always easier to get than permission ).  Spent a day stripping the cavalier down to get it repaired for tomorrow so I could use it to get my cupholder, but can you get a vauxhall strut-top mount and bearing on a sunday? Nope.  Argh - I can't wait two days to join the cup holding fraternity.....

The glovebox mounted "business card holder".
Probably the most useless option in the world.

Makes you wonder why the h*ll
they stuffed it in there, given that the g-box isn't exactly roomy !!

This item appeared in the first C class we tried to buy but thankfully was omitted from the current vehicle.

forgot to post a pic of the cup holder.

Looks like it's supposed to be there, doesn't it? :biggrin:

I've not used it much, but I can tell you it doesn't hold cans of Red Bull (airline can diameter) very well, they don't fall out but they slosh around a bit.  Normal 330 ml cans are held perfectly though.

I took a photo of the mysterious icons on my glovebox lid.....Anyone able to tell me how to post it up here, please?

TIA

Shude,

That's the d*amn
pesky item, you have one too eh? As you've commented... totally useless. It's not like that glove compartment is roomy in the first place.

Ballacraine,
try...

Let's give it a try then.....

one cup-holder.....

and one RC08 remote control for the Blaupunkt.

Some scaling down required me thinks....but it seems to work.
