Extra stowage

[bryand]

Having lost the stowage under my passenger seat to ICE components, I was surprised to find that the underseat boxes are available for both seats.

Fitting was a doddle, but be warned that a 6-point T50 Torx bit can chew up the head of the seat runner bolts - a 12-point tool is much better (I borrowed one from my friendly dealer).

If you want to add the driver's side box, you will need:

1 off 6Y0881578A 47H stowage box, and

1 off 6Y0881333 screw. (The box needs 4 screws, but you already have 3 of them).

All for the princely sum of

Youll find thats because the bolt is a M10 multi spline bolt and not a torx fixing, sort of like trying to undo a phillips crosshead with a flat blade, might just work but wont do it up again.

Note seat bolts should be replaced when removed.

Some cars have two boxes as std, but as yet I havent actually worked out why.

My Furby has the changer on the passenger side, and had the storage thing under my seat (standard)

Ah. In that case, you'll want:

How important is this? I've taken my seats out several times for ICE cables etc and used the original bolts. Getting worried now :(

what about the height adjust on the drivers seat?? will the box not obstruct this?

[VRStu]

Mine has the box under Passenger seat and SWMBO's is under the Driver seat as she has a CD changer.

[WW_VRS]

As for the height adjust - nope that's fine as the vRS has this box as standard (and it is height adjustable )

Perhaps a little guide?

That looks really neat Bryan.

[jamestay1]

[Mort]

Took me 3 months to find it :confused:

Useful now though!

Bu99er! Wish I'd known that at the time I ordered mine - the changer in my boot really gets in the way sometimes, and I only put a non-OEM one in as I thought I'd have to give up the under-seat storage box!

Damn and blast!

[WW_VRS]

Just to clarify -

Storage box on driver side, CD Changer on passenger side (no storage box there). That's probably what you meant anyway but just in case

The big benefit of your setup is probably going to be the sound quality though

huh? only the drivers seat is height adjustable and the vrs doesnt have a storage box under the drivers seat as standard???

[WW_VRS]

yes it does, see my post.

Passenger side: cd changer (option). Have a feeling that if you don't order it you'd get the storage unit.

Driver side: storage unit (standard). Height adjustable seat (standard).

I also have a Cd changer under the passenger seat and storage compartment under the drivers. My car is an 04. I guess we were the lucky ones that don't have to retrofit this item.

@Des - maybe - the car I had for a test drive also had the storage thingy there.

It could be that it's only fitted to Elegance or vRS spec, dunno though

Either way - I'm pleased with it
