Default New Accessory Available In The Corvette Forum Store

You can now show off your Corvette's owner manuals packet and, at the same time, free up much needed space in the glove box of your C5 or C6 Coupe or your Z06. The CORVETTE FORUM STORE has a great new way to display and store your Corvette's factory owner manuals packet. The Owner Manuals Packet Holder can be found in the "C6 Interior Accessories" category in the Corvette Forum Store.

The Owner Manuals Packet Holder mounts on the factory bulkhead behind the seats. It fits with or without cargo mat and requires no tools for installation.





I took delivery of the first 2007 C6 at the National Corvette Museum in July 2006. I now have 10,000 miles on it and have enjoyed driving every mile. Like most vehicles, I soon discovered the glove box was really just a box to hold the packet containing the owner manuals and little else. The packet is nicely designed, especially the front with the Corvette flags and name displayed.

I decided to design a product that could hold the packet of manuals in a convenient and accessible location and allow the Corvette flags and name on the front of the packet to be displayed. The resulting design is the Owner Manuals Packet Holder shown above.

I have had a prototype in my C6 for several months and C5 and C6 owners I showed it to liked it very much.

Should you decide to purchase one, you will find it to be a quality product and, it's MADE IN THE USA.

I am very interested in your opion about this new product and any feedback you might have.

I'm sorry....The manual is something only occasionally referred to. (I keep mine in the rear cubby). It would not be something I'd choose to "show-off"...

Could this be the same as having a bible on every hotel room on the right drawer?

I must admit the negative response to the holder is surprising to me but I asked for it and I do appreciate the feedback. This is the first negative feedback I have received. Then again, it’s the first time I have asked for feedback.

I must say, however, that I have sold quite a few and everyone who has seen the holder installed really likes it including the folks at the National Corvette Museum and the Corvette Forum Store and others who are selling them.

Looks pretty good if you go in for that sort of thing. Just not for me.
