TCR under seat storage
« on: 18 July 2019, 16:42 »
Hi folks
Anyone with a TCR notice there is no storage drawer under the drivers seat ?
My clubsport had one so just wondering if mine is missing or if it’s the usual vw cost saving exercise ?
Thanks

Dieselgate has to be paid for somehow. Mine doesn't have it either.  :shocked:

i have to agree, the draw under my drivers seat has a loose catch which if I had not wedged firmly shut would keep opening of it's own accord.  I can only remember using it twice before I noticed the catch had become loose. The draws under seat are a nice idea but fairly useless anyway.

The drawers themselves wouldn’t be missed but it’s a shame there’s not a plastic trim to disguise the gaping hole.

I disagree. They were perfect for putting things in and then forgetting that they were there!  :grin:

Have a look under the passenger seat, you should have two...  :grin:

Personally, I've never used mine. Anyone else found a good use for them?
