2003 Mustang Cobra, looking to buy an R230 SL55
Storage area behind seats: measurements?

Dear R230 owners,

I am considering buying an R230 but unsure about the rear storage area.

Could someone please provide me with the 2 measurements as indicated by the green lines in the following picture?

Also, how deep would that space be measured from the seatback to the back "wall", with the seat positioned for a person with a height of 5'9"?

Thank you very much in advance and best wishes,

Marius

Marius, On my '05 SL those measurements are 12 1/4" at the center console, 8 1/2 " behind the seat, and approximately 8" at the top of the seat and 12" at the bottom of the seat at the shelf level ( am 5'11" so seat position may be a bit different for 5'9"). I hope this helps. Art
