My Service manuals leather case is too big for the glove compartment. It would fit but when i shut the compartment it leaves indents on the case. Is everyone having this same problem or is there a way to put it in?

Yeah I tried once when I got the car, now it just slides back and forth on the rear seat (kind of annoying). Haven't found another good place to put it yet, thing is like a dictionary!

Mine is in the trunk along with the first aid kit and front plate.

Hmmmmm.....leather? Mine is a fabric, sort of a ballistic nylon, but it fits just fine. Binding in....zipper facing out, and you can see a sunglass shell case right above it....door closes easily.

lol i was gonna say, "YOURS IS LEATHER?"

I dont find myself keeping the manual in the car at all, but if I was going to, it would be in the first aid kit cubby (I dont have the net as I have the P2 package).

on a side note, Lexus does manuals right, you get a leather cases and it comes with a pen on the inside.

Mine is leather in the trunk as well.

What is wrong with under the front passenger seat ?

Mine is in the trunk too and it is leather. My first aid kit is nylon.

Mines a cloth one like SportStick's. I keep it in the same arrangement as well. You lucky lucky people. :[. We were shafted.

Leather? Mine seems more like vynal, although softer than MB Tex. Mine does not fit in the glovebox so I kept it in the door pocket until finally moving it to the trunk.

Sportstick

Well, maybe look at it the other way....ours fits in the glovebox and will never need conditioner!! If there had been a choice up front and we couldn't have both, I would take "fit" over leather, but then, I wanted MBTex over leather too!

Don't know this for sure, but I would guess the leather binders came in the older cars, even within the model year. Probably a cost reduction sometime during 2009MY. All of you 2010 folks, what do you have?

Mines leather and it is in the net in the passanger footwell. I was shocked with how small the glove box is.

I don't have the side sill nets in the trunk like the other poster mentioned... If you have the multimedia package you lose that little nook of space because the radio's amp is in the trunk...

I leave mine in the only place it will fit. On my bookshelf at home.

Mine is leather (well, leather-like at least) and it's in the same location. My salesperson put it there when I took delivery and she told me "It won't fit in the glove box so we like to put it here." I've put it between the console and the passenger seat after I'm done looking up something but after the next service, the dealership always stamps the book and puts it back in that footwell net. So I gave in. If that's where they want it, that's where it will stay!

I put it in the trunk, near the spare wheel in a ziplick bag
It is made if nylon

In the trunk with the spare tire. After all, I hardly ever use it...

Mine was one of the very last MY2009s that came out of Stuttgart. I was two weeks waiting for customs clearances after mine came off the assembly line, and there were a few 2010s for pickup when I picked mine up from the factory. I think it more likely has to do with features & options.

Sportstick

Hmmmm....possibly....or they are doing cost reductions by market. MBUSA may think Americans are less sensitive to this issue. The other possibility is that the only way they could get it thinner was with fabric, so it could fit.

Front right door pocket.

All the MB's I have had from what I can remember they were always in the passenger side by the feet in the cargo net. It fits perfectly in there and just assumed this was the place for it.

eminnet

For me there (in the net) is the perfect place for Mini Freshmatic odorizer.

charliele729

Mines fabric, Even my acura came with a leather or faux leather. But still it looks like leather, lol. Mines fit in the glove box. i also have to agree that our box is not too big, I just hate that divider in the middle.

davidw1234

Mine fits in the glove box too, but its annoying since I have other stuff to put in there. I ended up putting it in the trunk with the first aid.

nukefixer

Mine is Black leather and sits in the webbing in the trunk (boot) where the emergency first aid kit is.

I put mine in the right side trunk fuse box access door fits perfectly, it's leather BTW.
