I wouldn’t leave anything too valuable, just in case. A quick grab-and-go could happen, but organization is key!

22

Exactly, Jennifer! I organize mine with a small pouch for warranty papers and an emergency kit in the back. Just enough to keep it tidy!

23

Have any of you experimented with adding dividers in there? I think that could help keep things even more organized!

24

I haven’t tried that yet, but it sounds smart! I wonder if the space is large enough for that without making it cramped.

25

I think it depends on the size of the items you want to store. I fit a small flashlight and some snacks in there and it works out fine!

Snacks are vital! I should start keeping my granola bars in the compartment. It’s so handy!

That’s funny, Whitney! I imagine a late-night drive, reaching for a snack in the secret compartment. Makes road trips fun!

28

Speaking of snacks, do y’all ever plan on using the space for emergency supplies? I think that’s practical too.

29

That’s actually a great idea! I might consider putting a small toolkit there too.

30

Toolkit sounds essential! But if the compartment gets overstuffed, won’t it be hard to access during an emergency?

31

That’s a valid concern! Maybe list the items you store there to keep track easily.

32

I haven’t thought about that! I’ll definitely try listing them. Then I won’t forget I have anything important tucked away.

33

This discussion has been fantastic! I must say, the secret compartment is a treasure. Let’s continue sharing tips!

Has anyone actually found that secret compartment in the Chevy Malibu? I heard there are hidden features, but I can’t seem to locate mine!

I found mine behind the center console! It’s pretty nifty once you know where to look.

That’s awesome, David! I didn’t think to check there. Do you know if it can be upgraded for extra security?

37

I think you could install a small lock or even a hidden latch to secure it better. It’s all about making little customizations.

38

Sounds like a great idea! I might try it this weekend. Anyone have suggestions on where to get the parts?

Home improvement stores usually have these items. You might also check online for some better deals or unique customizations. Good luck!

I wonder if anyone’s done a full DIY on installing a hidden compartment instead of just modifying the existing one. That would be interesting!
