Storage pass through

Got the storage box that fits between the seats on the rear bulkhead for some extra storage, yet to fit.
Didn't realise the back half in the boot removes to create a pass through as per the ski bag.
Bonus!

Wonder how many with the storage realise that.

Can't think of a use for it, unless I buy a broom.
 
I have the storage pack but can't say I've noticed. I will have to check it out tomorrow, is it easy to remove?
 
Apart from being able to put long planks through it or a set of golf clubs when the roof is down (so I've been told) it's also good for a long journey. Put a cool bag behind that section with your goodies in it and then just pop down the wee hatch and take from the bag. Means you don't have to faff about in the boot and have it possibly encroaching on the passengers footwell space.

Yup. Just unclips from the boot. Big black bit of plastic right at the back, can't miss it. You can also remove the shelves in the storage compartment. Not sure what it's that good for to be honest. Usually sunglasses and bottles of juice/cans of red bull which I forget about and hear knocking about.
 
I enjoy shooting "sporting clays" and my shotguns, covered with protective 'socks', fit thru that hole perfectly inside the ski bag. My friend and I drove 80 miles to a favorite range on Friday just this way! The barrels laid on top the console lid perfectly with the stocks sitting on top of our shooting bags in the trunk.
 
Used mine for the first time at last years National.
Put my tent through it allowing me much more storage in the boot for other gear.

Good for keeping the beers cold on a nice warm sunny drive with the top down :thumbsup:
 
Something else I've not yet discovered... I also have this, but not surprising really, only took me a year to work out comfort access :rofl:

Today was beautiful here, the rivers have moderated their huge recent flows, so I decided to do a little fly casting. I have a 6" (I think!) diameter PVC pipe with threaded and capped ends that hold 4-6 broken down fly rods, (without reels), safely for carrying them in my truck, but took the Z since it was an hour drive to a stream I favor. That pipe, with my rods, fit PERFECTLY inside that ski bag and into the trunk, and sat nicely on the ski support bar that was part of the kit! My vest draped over the pipe was perfect for holding it in place against my creel and tackle bag! Damn car is now my favored fishing wagon!

Best car I ever owned and it continues to surprise me to the upside every day. Looked damned sexy parked next to half a dozen 4X4s parked along the river too!
 
Well stripped out all the bulkhead trim after work today, ready to fit the pass through.
With all the plastic removed, quietist journey home free from plastic rattles!
 
It is for snow skis, for skiing in Austria or Vail. Mine came with a rack that holds the aft end of 2 pair of skis and a ski bag for the part that protrudes into the cabin. I must admit that the quality and thoughtful design are impressive as are the molded parts quality of the shelf compartment that fits in the opening. Designers made an effort to provide storage in this versatile roadster. There is even a feature that allows one to raise slightly the lowered roof to allow removal of luggage with the top down. I also admire the complicated net and even the hooks behind the seats for a cloths hanger of some sort. Then of course there is the elaborate coffee cup holder with a receptacle in the dash compartment for storing it.(Eat your heart out UK owners).
Actually in a previous life I used a corvette for a ski car and always wished I could get the skis inside the car to avoid the coating of road salt.
 
Well have the cabin and boot trim now to finish off the project, from a local breaker.
They have quite a few 23i parts from a car that experienced the engine being swamped with water, so engine u/s.
