Storage Space in Polo

As we know, the Polo is a sub compact to begin with. Hence, its smaller boot space might be a concern for some car owners. In fact, I have quite a number of stuffs to store  in the car and it might a challenging task to fit them in the Polo.

In order to boost the storage space, the Polo boot is designed as a double layer or "twin level" storage compartment, separated by a fibre board.  

To keep my things organized, I had to scout around for a suitable organizer since the Polo booth compartment does not comes with one. In addition, those featured in the VW catalogue are not cheap either!!

In case some of you might wonder whether is there a REAL need for an organizer. Ok, I shall illustrate the importance of having one in this simple scenario..

Imagine this, you are driving your gf, wife or mistress to work...then you ran over some nails or thumbnails and your tyre burst! After some $:)&@$ swearing, you got off the car and then went around to open the car boot to retrieve the spare tyre. Then you realized that the spare tyre is actually stored below the huge stash of stuffs!

What can you do? you have to patiently unpack and place them somewhere in the backseat or by the roadside in order to reach the spare wheel..... It's kinda messy and silly isn't it?

With the help of my wifey, we brain stormed where we can find a storage solution that can double up as an organizer for our boot. We called Howard Solution but unfortunately , the profile of the organizer we were looking for is too slim and they do not have any that match our needs.

In the end, we decided try our luck at TOYOGO, situated in Toa Payoh. TOYOGO specialized in storage solution for home and industrial storage needs.

We poured through the various catalogs TOYOGO has to offer. In fact, there were so many different types  and sizes that we took quite some time to short list the suitable ones.

Only the following trays are suitable for the lower boot storage compartment of the bottom since they are nearly a perfect fit.

However, another problem soon surfaced.  It is pretty noisy When The trays knocked against each other or slide about in the boot compartment especially when the car was negotiating  corners.

The solution to this teething problem is easy though. an anti-slip mat would be able to solve this. in the end, i purchased a big piece of anti-slip mat measuring 100x90cm at less then 20 bucks from HOME FIX store in Tampines 1.  I did the same for the upper level of the compartment so that nothing else would slide around in the boot.
