Owner's Manual
Just wondering, where you store the bulky owner's manual. Mine was lost when I bought the car. I just got a replacement, but I can't see to fit it in the glove compartment. Won't close.
So where would you guys store yours?

I think it is intended to be in the trunk, one of the side compartments. Those of us with CD changers in our glove box like myself find it doesn't fit there. I keep it in my house.

Well, I know that is one option. But the thing I would like to have the hardcopy in the car just in case if there is any emergency and something I need to see while I am away from home.

Having the CD changer in the upper part of the glove box, my owner's manual and case fits snuggly in the lower part of the glove compartment,.... well, often I'll have to SLAM it shut.
Ok,... so now I'm wondering,... what exactly do people have in their glove compartment so that their owner's manual can't fit?
Another nice possible storage area for those fat bulky owner's manuals and case would be that round empty "deep dish" rim area of that compact spare tire underneath the trunk.

"deep dish", nah not so good area as well, will be a pain to get it and it will get all dirty over time. Although it's a good hiding place. The previous owners of my car said someone stole theirs from the side compartment.
Oh. how about the sunglass holder? anyone of you use that?

i put it in the foam container that sits on top of the spare tire, under the trunk carpet, its fits perfect, always right there when i need it, and doesnt take up more convienent space

Mine is in the glove compartment in the area under the CD changer shelf. Pretty much the only thing in the glove compartment is the CD changer, the original music demo tape, a MB analog phone 
, and the manuals in the leather case.
As far as heat or the tight fit causing problems, it has been there since August of 2002 with no problems. Looks and feels almost new when I pull it out. It is a snug fit, but I don't think a dent in the leather is noticeable. I would have to go out and look, but don't even remember a dent.
