Center Armrest Storage Tray eBay Find

Magic Marker · Sep 28, 2014

Linking you all to this tray that Thomas.brian23 found for XC60's.

I've confirmed that it fits in my 11 S60... so in theory it should fit all 11+ S60's as I don't believe the armrest changed at all over the years. Obviously, I can't say that for a certainty, but it makes sense... YMMV.

Coming direct from China, I got mine in less than 10 days... no issues.:thumbup:

Thanks for the heads up, Magic. Share a photo once it arrives.

Looks good, but the current EBay one have no Volvo insignia. Still looks like a very useful product though.

TexaS60r · Sep 28, 2014

The thread indicated that the VOLVO lettering was a surprise upon arrival.

That looks handy. I would be interested to know if a CD case still fits under the tray.

Thanks for the heads up on that product. I ordered it and when it arrives sometime in Oct I will try it in the 2015+ S/V60 models at my local dealership.

I received it today... It fits perfectly.

A CD case will kinda fit... only on an angle. There are two little ledges on the very bottom of the storage which lifts the CD case too high for the shelf to sit flat. Not an issue for me as I don't listen to CD's.

This is the only way to fit a CD case w/ shelf:

This way will NOT fit a CD case and shelf.

What do you use this for? Personally I don't carry change nowadays so I stuffed a box of kleenex tissues into the hole. Where can I put my box of kleenex then?

The storage compartment is too deep relative to its other dimensions. While that would be great for a potting a tomato plant, for holding stuff in an organized manner it is useless. My box is a treasure trove of junk and I have to dig around for what I want.

If I'm understanding this tray correctly, it turns your box into a "two-level" compartment. You can still put big stuff in the bottom. But the smaller stuff that now sinks to the bottom (e.g., chap stick) or gets scratched up (e.g., cell phone) would sit on the tray, within easy reach and protected from the violence of the mosh pit.

Great commentary FifthSet! Funny but oh so true.

Does anyone know why it ships to all countries except Canada?

Other sellers sell the same tray and ship it to Canada. In their listings they even clearly show the Volvo insignia on the tray rubber mat.

I bought mine here:

2 S60 specific on order

ss_winnie · Oct 11, 2014

Thank you! Just ordered! Does anyone have an idea where I can keep a box of kleenex?

I ordered a set of catch caddies for my XC60. I turned one upside and set the other on top of it to stop the top caddy from sliding downward. I then stuff the Kleenex car pack wedge in the caddy. I usually pick the Kleenex car pack wedge up in Target for under $2.

Received my storage tray yesterday. Fits nicely in my 2015.5 console. There is enough space in the gap to slide in my phone when I don't want to carry it with me. Without the phone in the hole I can easily reach in and pull out my ipod if I need to without pulling out the tray.

...and got mine today, looking just like this one, from one of the ebay links early in the threads. It's a nice fitting, good quality tray with the Volvo name on the rubberized pad. Came wrapped in a Volvo-branded bag as well.

Whole thing got me thinking, with Volvo technically being a Chinese company, could these actually be "officially licensed" somehow? Seems unlikely at the $14 price point, but in any event I was pretty impressed relative to some of my other ebay purchases!

No. The concept of intellectual property is often not respected in China. With formerly doing engineering business with Asia, I could give a few dozen examples. Just this week I bought some 3M double-sided tape on ebay - it was fake from China.
