Problem:
In the standard Subaru Forester, the glove compartment is a spacious yet unstructured area that often leads to disorganization. Essential items like the owner’s manual, along with insurance and registration documents, can become buried under other contents, making them difficult to access quickly.
Solution:
To solve this issue, I designed and 3D printed a custom shelf for the glove compartment that mimics the functionality found in newer vehicle models. This addition creates a dedicated space for the owner’s manual and related documents, preventing them from being obscured by other items. The design was meticulously crafted to fit perfectly within the existing compartment of my Forester without requiring any modifications to the vehicle's interior aesthetics.
The shelf was installed using four small bolts: one on each side and two in the rear, ensuring a secure and stable fit. It holds the owner's manual snugly, maintains easy access to important documents, and utilizes the remaining compartment space more efficiently.
Outcome:
This simple yet effective modification has greatly improved the functionality of the glove compartment, making it more organized and user-friendly. The shelf not only fits the owner's manual perfectly but also does so without obstructing the space or protruding in any way. It functions exactly as needed, streamlining the organization within the glove compartment.
Future Plans:
Given the success and functionality of this custom shelf, I am considering offering this solution to other Subaru Forester owners who face similar organizational challenges in their vehicles. If you are interested in enhancing your vehicle's glove compartment for greater ease and efficiency, this custom-designed organizer might be exactly what you need. Stay tuned for updates on availability and ordering information.
