Does anyone use the map tray?

[drem914]

I can't for the life of me understand what the map tray is good for under the steering wheel. :huh:

It is not convenient to access it, it doesn't hold much and it takes away some knee room. Anyone know how to remove it?

The screws holding it in place do not look like they are screws, rather plugs or caps.

I didn't want to just "rip it off" from under the dash.

Is there a description on removal available or has anyone done this recently?

Update - Did a search and found the rivet removal in another thread. Sorry, I should have searched first. My original question, though, still holds.

Thanks,

I believe it was originally used to hold the owners manual which are always missing anyway.

It holds the owners manual, not a problem on LHD cars, I guess Porsche couldn't be bothered to move it for RHD cars, took mine out as I kept hitting it with my knee when getting in and out. They are not screws, just push the centre pin out with a nail or equivelent catch the pins as they fall out, then pull it off.

Still use it to hold the owner's manuals because I'm usually so content listening to the engine music that when it's time do something with the cryptic CDR-220 radio, I have to read how.

I don't think I have this since I have glove box in my 04?
