No under seat storage?

Hi all...trying to get situated in my new GLA, and reading the manual it indicates there should be two storage bins...one under each of the front seats. Did anyone get these.....dealer says no idea other than a factory special order option???
They would be SO nice to have!

2015 GLA 250 (x156)
same question from me

What was more disappointing than the lack of storage bins was the lack of protection for the seat mechanisms. Lots of exposed stuff.

If anyone knows how to get these under the front seat storage bins referenced in the owners manual of GLA250s please help.

Thanks!

In Canada, the Premium Plus package (MP2) includes something called the "Storage Package". After searching around, I found out that this includes cargo nets in the cabin, storage boxes under the front seats, and a sunglasses compartment. I'm not sure if other countries are bundling in the same way, but at the least, it looks like an option that you need to add on and not something that would come standard.

I'm not happy that Keyless Go seems to be offered in other countries but not here!

Sure would be a nice accessory....maybe they will sell the underseat compartments aftermarket!

Your reply also explains the picture and reference to the sunglasses compartment in the manual.

Thanks...Celt

Under seat storage

I ordered mine (US Model) and didn't see that as an option to choose. I wish I had them, along with the folding front passenger seat back. They really shouldn't show those things in the OM if they are not available in the market, and why wouldn't they be?............RJ

These apparently also fit the CLA and come in black, grey, and beige. Mine did not come with them and while I've debated getting a couple, I question whether $110 x 2 is worth it for something that looks like a sunglass holder.
