Browsing Superskoda, I notice they have the rear seat storage box for the Combi shown as an accessory. 

 

My combi came with this fitted when I bought it and I assumed it was standard as it fits perfectly underneath the load cover.
Was it standard in the UK, as surely there is a big gap left when it's not fitted?

Haha! I don't know the answer but thanks for post as I have only just noticed this in my scout! Wooo more storage for me!

My vrs combi has it too

My 2011 SE estate has it :-)

If you take the storage box the flap still covers the gap. Incidentally, I keep losing the three rubber anti-rattle stops along the edge of the box. Usually I find them again and put them back but now I need to buy some more. Anyone bought replacements?

Certainly in 2008 they weren't standard, only on certain models in the UK.

Hmmm, mine is a 2005 Elegance, but it has a lot of other options specced too so maybe it was added as an accessory.

My brolly is too small and smacks the side unless I pack that box out with hats and gloves :(

Standard on 2008 Scout and I thought it was standard on all FL Octy.

Certainly standard on my 2012 Elegance estate.

I stick bags for life in there as well as the brolly. Always handy.

Only time I see mine is when I take it out to clear the load area. Never used it since buying my car new! 

got it on my pre fl 08 VRS

My 2005 elegance estate doesn't have it, I assumed the previous owner had removed / lost it...
