w124: where do you keep the owners wallet, I have no glovebox

[jazzdude]

As the title says, without a glovebox, where do you keep the wallet with the manuals and service booklet?

It wont fit under the front seats because of the electrics under there, the door pockets are too short so half of it sticks out.

My old Audi had a slot under the steering wheel for this and for an 'over engineered' car it seems to be an afterthought if you have to put up with this fat wallet sliding about the floor.

Is there somewhere else?

On a cabriolet it is meant to go in the passenger side door pocket

Thats just the service book.

Or in the map pocket in the passenger footwell (where fitted).

 

[jazzdude]

I know about the service booklet in my cab, it's the rest of it I don't know where to keep.

I hadn't realised that anything came without a glove box?

When passenger airbags were a new idea, they were sometimes installed where the glove box would have been.

There's an airbag where mine should be. MB added a storage box between the seats to compensate but it is hardly practical.

No I am talking about the whole folder which goes in the door pocket. On the cab and coupe there is an additional slot in the passenger door pocket with a clear perspex cover where you can put the service booklet with the next service interval showing

Map pockets might have been fitted on later cars but i have never seen a map pocket fitted in the passenger footwell on a W124 cab.

Have you got the model with that essential option which everyone seems to like?





I think they call it a 'boot' in UK markets.

 

[RJR]

in the boot?

 

[Dieselman]

Fit a documents storage net in the front footwell, then put it in there.

 

[jazzdude]

I tried a spot in the boot and it seems to work.

There is an elastic strap on the right side, under the filler cap area that seems to hold the wallet vertically and quite well, so perhaps that is where the powers at MB intended for it to go.

Unless of course it is meant for something else.

My cab has a first aid kit there.

Leave it all at home!

Yup.....as in my MY98 SL

That strap is for the first aid kit
