·Now with winter approaching. In the Equinox rear cargo, right side panel there is a compartment...If GM had made this about 10mm wider it would have fit a standard jug of windshield washer fluid perfectly.
I'm not sure I understand what would be un-friendly to the consumer about having the bin be 10mm wider.gar187er said:not many people carry a whole extra bottle of fluid......not a very consumer friendly feature....
Ditch the klenex and throw in a roll of toliet paper.Serves dual purpose blow the nose and...GMCdriver said:I wish the storage compartment under the armrest was just slightly wider so a standard size box of klenex would drop in.
I would also like it if the usb input were placed in a way that didn't stick straing out into the middle of the storage area, perhaps tucked up against one of the sides somehow.
Good point, that console is so big, that I have put a lot of $hit in there.fourmoremarine said:Ditch the klenex and throw in a roll of toliet paper.Serves dual purpose blow the nose and...
Agreed. Perhaps a right angle USB port so you plug in pushing straight down or at least a countersunk 45 deg angle port. I'm waiting for the day my wife or someone else reaches their arm down in there and...snap! A second USB port in that little cubby under the radio beside the power jack would be convenient too.GMCdriver said:I would also like it if the usb input were placed in a way that didn't stick straing out into the middle of the storage area, perhaps tucked up against one of the sides somehow.
Not true - just go through the re-learn procedure that you have to do when you rotate your tires, and it will see the new TPMSs on the snow tires. It is explained in the Owners Manual. No need to go to the dealer.mmarges said:as I know you still have to go to the dealer each fall and spring to reprogram them and tell the computer which sensor is on which corner.
can you really believe they would market a feature as "holds a spare bottle of windshield washer fluid in the cargo area?GMCdriver said:I'm not sure I understand what would be un-friendly to the consumer about having the bin be 10mm wider.
Both cars. The procedure is explained step-by-step in your Owners Manual. There is a lot of good information in this manual !mmarges said:Is this on the Terrain/Equinox or both?
Does anybody have any documentation explaining this proceedure...would be nice to have handy for next spring.
Also, there are many post on this site about the confusion in this matter.
'Unworthy of being marketed' and 'not consumer friendly' are different things.gar187er said:can you really believe they would market a feature as "holds a spare bottle of windshield washer fluid in the cargo area?
no, because you have a whole cargo area to place a bottle.....its not a consumer friendly feature.....having a 50% larger capacity fluid reservoir is though...
Can you really believe that GM marketed a $30,000 TENT...oh wait no....that was a $30,000 tent that doubled as a SUV...The Pontiac Aztec. If they can think up something so ridiculous as that, you think they would say hey, since we're putting a compartment here anyway...it's currently only 10mm shy of holding one of the most popular items our customers stuff in their trunks....a standard jug of washer fluid. And since it would hold better in a compartment rather than sloshing around the cargo area lets do it. Use it to hold the spare jug of fluid or don't but at least it's there and convenient.gar187er said:can you really believe they would market a feature as "holds a spare bottle of windshield washer fluid in the cargo area?

I just don't get it. Why do you need to carry a jug of windshield washer fluid around with you..anyhow? Can't you just periodically check it...and fill it from a container stored in the garage?mmarges said:Can you really believe that GM marketed a $30,000 TENT...oh wait no....that was a $30,000 tent that doubled as a SUV...The Pontiac Aztec.

I second that. I have never myself, nor heard of anyone (but you) carrying around an extra bottle of WWF. And yes, I do live in a snowbelt region - the "great" NorthEast. But, to each their own...IceMan said:I just don't get it. Why do you need to carry a jug of windshield washer fluid around with you..anyhow?
