2011 C300 - Where to store owners manuals

On my E Class, there is plenty of room to store the owners manuals in the glove box/compartment, no such luck on the C300.

I am therefore wondering where you guys store the manual at?
For now, I placed it in the door storage pocket. I do not like to use the elastic cargo net in the passenger floor area, as the rubber will eventually wear and then the thing will look pretty sloppy.

Thanks very much in advance, looking forward to receive your inputs.

Keep it in the trunk.

Either on the left side...

or on the the right side, behind the door

I keep mine in the glove compartment, but on the bottom part. Closes fine no issues?

Very interesting.

Does a 2010 possibly have a larger glove box than a 2011?
Or do you not store all the manuals (owners, voice command, warranty info, etc.) in the leather pouch as shown in the below pics from dchar?
I tried to get all my manuals in the pouch in the glove box and it is a No Go.

If you make it fit in the pouch, maybe you can show a picture. Possibly the manual on a 2010 is not as thick and detailed?????

I just have the manual book, no leather pouch so I guess that explains it.

I would probably put them in the rear - probably not where all the fuses are but somewhere in the trunk where its safe.

I keep mine in the spare tire well. Just in case I need it during an emergency breakdown or the likes.

To keep it with the car so that you know where it is when you sell your car.

For now, I have decided to keep the manual here.
Thanks very much for everyone's input.
