Umbrella Holder Anyone?

[Midnightsun]

Ordered this on ebay and installed it last week. Neat and sturdy device which does and excellent job of holding any umbrella via the spring loaded mecanism as opposed to it being all over the trunk and in the way. Looks great and factory. Link to item on ebay for those interested. http://www.ebay.com/itm/REAR-Trunk-...is&hash=item1c252fc95e&vxp=mtr#ht_6646wt_1180

The unpredictability of rain here requires me to have my umbrella snugly in my door pocket, because not once has it ever started raining when I was riding in the trunk.

Neat idea, but I keep mine in the side door pocket as well, that would be too much of a hassle to get out of the car when its raining and pop the trunk.

But...now people will really think you drive a Bentley when you pop the trunk at the local grocery store and theres an umbrella mounted in the trunk

Cool. Bought it. May find use for it other than for umbrella.

That looks pretty cool.

I have my cargo net in the "grocery bag" position. In it, are two microfiber towels, a regular towel (to be folded under the kid's car seat as needed), a soccer ball, a gym bag and of course, the umbrella.

Works for me.

I replaced the cargo net with a cheap, empty tote because the net is useless for groceries. It looks more trailer park than anything - maybe I should put some decals on it.

PLEASE! A Bently has no "trunk" unless one has placed such in the boot!
