After a long 2 days of lots of stuff to do, I was able to finally get my pocket pods installed on my new '12.

And I LOVE it.

Here's a few pics, and a short review follows:





REVIEW:
Installation was extremely simple. Pop the old push pin fasteners out, take the old trunk lid cover off, and use the supplied push style fasteners to attach the pocket pod piece. Perfect fit, and no other issues were found when installing.

USE:
Not much in mine so far, except for my maglite and some microfibers. So far though, Its great. Especially in our cars with so little storage. Helps to keep the trunk, glovebox, and center console clutter free, and keeps stuff from rolling around everywhere.

Not a lot else to say about it. Let me know if there's any questions.

 

1. Where did you get them from?

2. How much are they?

3. Based on the answer to 2., I think I'm gonna get me a set of these. They look pretty sweet.

 

I got mine direct from covercraft:
http://www.covercraft.com/pocket_pods.htm

They're $135 shipped, which is a little steep. But the storage space is worth it in my opinion.

 

Does the trunk still open smoothly with the flashlight and other assorted stuff in there? If so, I think I might pick one up.

 

Not a lot else in mine, but I haven't noticed any issues. They say to only put 3lbs of stuff in per pocket.

 

Not to jack, but how are you liking the car? I trust the transaction went well? Did you have Dan or Amanda do your financing?

 

Absolutely loving it so far. Just an incredible car with GOBS of power. Ed was able to get most of my paperwork done before I got there, so I was in and out of the dealer in 35-45 minutes with the car. Just a fantastic dealer IMO. Dan was the one who did my financing.

 

Great find! Hmmmm looks like another Mustang upgrade for moi...

 

that is a sweet little mod! I like it

 

Lewis - when the trunk is closed, do the pockets take up much room in the trunk?
What I mean by that is, when the trunk is down, these will obviously "jut inward" and will take some trunk space up.

 

It does a little bit. But only about an inch and a half or two inches.

 

Looking good man. I gotta get this as well.

 

Why are you guys carrying so much stuff in your car to warrant this?

 

I'd rather have something like this to keep things in place than let them roll around in the trunk. Simple things like a flashlight, quick detailer, and MF towels would fit perfect in this.

 

Looks like a nifty mod, but the price is a little steep for what it is, though.

 

Hmm... kinda cool, but for $140+, am going to put velcro strips on the bottom edges of a medium-small low profile lidded plastic storage container to store Windex, paper towels, squeegee, bug sponge, a couple of micro fiber towels, LED flashlight and a small tool kit.

Velcro seems to REALLY like the trunk floor material, which solves the "everything scattered all over the trunk" or the "box full of stuff banging around the trunk like a ton of bricks when cornering" situation I currently have...

 

I don't carry a lot of stuff, but I can't remember the last time I had a car with less storage.
There's no sunglasses holder and the door side pockets are almost useless.
The glove box isn't bad, but it doesn't lock (which is a consideration in a convertible).

That leaves me with just the arm rest console, which is good and does lock.
But once my sunglasses are in there, there isn't a whole lot of room for much else.

This product is definitely on the expensive side, but I think will be a small price to pay for more usable storage.

Good ideas. I'm also thinking a small spray bottle of soapy water to remove bird droppings before they have a chance to ruin the finish.

 

Interior space is clearly not one of the 'Stang's strong points...

 

My registration and I don't need that much storage.

 

Myself and other people keep more in our cars than that. Especially since it's a daily for me.


Sounds like you don't need it, which is great for you. I was just trying to help out members who have issues with not enough storage space.
