What are these for?

[Snoopy23]

bought my cali going through draw found various items , can someone tel me what they are for?

Left look like hold down straps for roof closing fault. Middle pic part of a cup holder I think and the next one looks like table strap when not using the led.

Also got 2 towel rails, a bit random, found the other half of cup holder, again a slightly superfluous item, cannot see using any of them but tie down may come in use (hopefully not.)
Checked sat nav and found all routs previous owner took mainly long trips to spain and Europe but only 17K miles in 2.5 years so little use. Slowly unravelling its history.

Had to smile, we bought ours new and it came with several small plastic “bits” we’ve never used - the dilemma is do you carry everything all the time, just incase, or store somewhere safe ? Potentially forgetting where after time.

Left: Emergency roof securing kit, essential to always take.
Centre: Cup holder. Useless IMO.
Right: Strap to secure table without leg, when using over bench seat. Fixes to headrest. Never used.

Totally agree

Common question then I take it

 

[TripleBee]

Indeed.
Seems like the dealers don't explain all of the vehicle to their customers?

You’ve never used the table strap!
Try it, totally transforms the van, we use it all the time.

Go and ask your dealer , it should come with a new van .
Or did you buy 2nd hand?

Ex vw van 1 year old. I will investigate the strap use. It is a bit of a squeeze when we are trying to cook with the table in the middle of the living area.

We use the table strap all the time when we are cooking ... gives so much more worktop space. We leave it hooked over the off side rear seat headrest ready for use. It is one of the many clever features of the Cali.
Thankfully never had to use the roof strap but carry it just in case.
