Glove Box Contents

Sorry to start a random thread; couldn't find this anywhere. I took delivery on Monday and in the glovebox there is a plastic bag that had a wooden shim, round felt pad, small metallic disk (1/2 cm diameter x ~1mm thick) and an alcohol wipe. Did everyone have this in their glovebox, and what is it for? Any help is appreciated.

All I got a coffee mug and a keychain when I took delivery. Sounds like you really struck gold!

Yeah mine came with this too but it was In the trunk. I'm thinking it's for the dealer to install, the materials are almost anti rattle

I'm planning on asking them to hook me up with a t-shirt and key chain once I take delivery. Instead of buying it I can say the shirt came with the car.

For some reason it really annoys me that the manual doesn't fit in the glove box. I've kept the every manual to every car I've owned in the glove box.

I think he is referring to the leather holder the manual comes in. That will not fit. The manual itself fits when folded slightly.

I have my manual in the leather holder in my glove box. It does tilt up a little as I close the door, but it fits.

You guys are right. Just went out to the car, pulled everything out of the glove box and shoved in the folder. Awkward but it fits.

Sorry, I keep having problems trying to post a picture. I agree, it is probably meant to be part of the dealer prep items. I'll ask them when I go back in for the 1200 mile run in service.

It fits but, as you said, awkwardly. Especially if you keep anything else in there. I have the MPE Bluetooth controller in there. The manual will not fit in there laying flat, it has to be tilted up (it's in its leather case) which lessens the amount of space you have in the box for other stuff.

Not a big deal, I don't keep a ton of stuff in there. I'm not sure why it annoys me, but it does. If I have to nitpick the glove box to find things to complain about then I'm pretty happy.

Oh, very nice, but that must have been in the trunk, no way it fit in the glove box.
