Caravelle Storage help

[nath1977]

Hi
First time Caravelle owner. Got myself a nice 6.1 for our family of 3 children having moved up from a S-Max.
Couple of questions regarding storage as it appears less developed than the S-Max.

1. Am I missing a hidden compartment in the dash!? Where do you put coins, pens and other things without having to have it all on show?

2. The front seats have no built in storage yet a fair amount of space underneath if you avoid the wires. Any good solutions suggested - perhaps similar to the middle seats?

3. As there are no boxes or rails under the rear seats (removed after the T5?), are the Ikea Samla boxes the best way forward. Want to store jump leads, straps etc? I see there is a small compartment near side rear with the jack I can use too.

Any tips welcome.

Thank you!

I’m not sure if this search link will work but with Caravelle and Storage in the tag fields, a few results come back that might help you out:

You can get a glove box lid from here:

Interior - Styling - VW T6.1

What about a box between the front seats like this:

VW T5.1 10 - 15 Transporter Black Centre Console Storage Box Drink Phone Holder | eBay

Fits the VW T5 built from 2003 to 2015, and the VW T6 built from 2015 onwards. This includes the ‘facelift’ VW T5.1 and T6.1, as the only alterations to these models were to the exterior, and so won’t interfere with you installing or using this storage unit.

I also have the storage boxes under my rear bench seat in my T6.1 Caravelle.

The actual storage boxes aren't present from T5.1 onwards - but the flappy covers should be there.

Also, some window luggage doodah's here:-

Thanks!

Just want to check I’m not going mad - I appear to have one of the front facing hatch doors used in the rear. Two of the rears clip on and off but the centre one appears to be a front hatch and therefore doesn’t clip on.
It seems like the previous owner may have broken/lost one then replaced it with the incorrect type.
Can someone confirm all three of the rear facing clip on doors are the same simple clip on type?
Sounds confusing but hopefully makes sense!

Here’s what I have if this is what you are meaning:
3 hinge up covers at the front of the bench seat, and 3 pull off covers at the rear of the bench seat.

Thank you! Hmm yes it is as I suspected - the centre door ('flap' as it's known) is the wrong type. I need to get hold of part 7E5885638 in black it seems.
