Storage under rear seats - fishing rods

[solidstore]

I'm planning to do lots of sea fishing when I get my Cali. I'm looking for ideas on the best way to store long fishing rods. I noticed in the showroom that under the back seats there is a channel that looks ideal, but there is a plastic cover in the way. It looks removable but I'm after advise. Has anyone removed this? Is it easy/recommended?

Hi there. The little plastic panel you refer too comes off very easily and should allow
You to put your rod's in

You are right kev ...that seat panel does come off as a few of the members have retro-fitted a little drawer that you can buy for there from vw ,so yes it would be perfect for fishing rods ,guns , flag poles etc .... :smile

but if you shift the seat right forward you may not need to use it

Many thanks, hoping to go on my first trip next weekend so this will definitely help.

Just removed the panel for the first time after owning my Cali for 5 years. Perfect for the Ukulele

I've got long fishing rods (they come apart in two pieces) and found they fitted very nicely strapped to the bike rack along the slots
