Pandora's Box

noflash · 11-17-2005, 01:06 PM

So, at some point a rear seat passenger said, "What the hell is this?"

My ski sack (2nd worst feature ever) had begun to come out. I quickly kind of stuffed it back in. Since then whenever I go into the trunk I notice the plastic door to the sack is now bowed out.

So, last night I have ten minutes to kill b/f an appointment and I take it out to fold up nicely.

What a huge pain in the ass. The whole "box" comes apart from the seats. Then you fold the whole thing back and forth minding its seatbelt (it has its own seatbelt), then I can't click the box shut. Then one corner clicks shut and whenever I get the other corner to click shut the first corner comes undone -- people in the parking lot are beginning to stare now -- "what is the ruckus in that guy's back seat?"

I finally get it closed and the back door is still bowed and I still haven't even figured out how the back door opens; I shove it back into the seat no better than it was and go to my appointment.

That is one feature I will try to forget about!

The ski sack sucks I am glad I am not getting it. I just went for the heated seats.

what exactly does it look like? I thought it was just a normal sack/bag that you put skis in. It sounds like it's attached to the car or something. You can't just remove it and not have it in the car?

It's all in a box behind the rear center armrest. Susposedly, it folds up into the box.

Can't you just take the actual ski bag box out and just leave the armrest? I saw my delivery specialist do that. Then you can just put it back in when you need to use it.

Yes, it just seems weird.

When the rear armrest is down there's a gaping hole to the trunk.
