No Trunk Cubbyholes! 😡

The TLX is the first car I've owned that has no cubbyholes on the sides of the trunk for storing my air compressor, glass cleaner, etc. What to do?! I guess I'll have to figure a way to add a corner cubby that will not fly around. Any suggestions?

Store the item under the mat where the tire kit is I guess, also you can buy the storage drawer accessory. It's like $130 I think

$133 with shipping on eBay, but still pretty useless, IMO.

The trunk in this car is pretty useless!! It has no hooks for attaching a cargo net or grocery bags. You can buy a grocery bag hook for like $15. But geez, these should already be built in to the car!!!!

I ordered one of these yesterday. Mine also has a trunk liner, so I'm not sure how I'm going to secure it.

I'd pass on the drawer accessory. Assuming it is the same one as they have put in the Accords for the last few years, it does nothing but rattle based on posts from the DriveAccord forum.

I got one of those in my old Q50S Red Sport, but that had a place to hook it in to. The TLX does not. lol

Sorry, but that drawer is just dumb. lol There is plenty of room below the trunk liner, where the battery is. They could have made a bigger storage cubby in to that big ass foam covering the battery.

If not upgrading to a real spare tire ... that is actually a pretty good idea.

Personally, I think I'm going to get one of the trunk-organizers linked above ... much nicer than my current solution.

You haven't been around long enough in AZ. I think there is a 10-14 day probation period.
