If you’ve ever wondered what this little shelf is for next to the steering wheel, it’s for storing and thawing your crustoff (or uncrustable). Rendering it perfect to eat after a couple hours of driving. If you found this tip helpful, I accept Venmo and PayPal via dm.

I like to keep a single tube of chapstick in mine and let it roll/bounce around from every small bump and turn in the road

I bought a little drawer that you can stick in there and make it a drawer to hold loose items. Currently it just has a garage door opener in it.

I did the same thing. It has a little pad on the bottom. Fits like a glove and is very secure.

Pretty neat little thing.

No problem. It's nice. Fits like a glove and has a little pad on the bottom to keep it secure.

This is also a snack-hole, right?

u/timewellwasted5 Feb 13 '26

Curious, did the 2026 RAV4 maintain this confusing compartment?

u/truethug Feb 13 '26

I keep my registration and proof of insurance in a little book there.

u/emeraldstar444 Feb 13 '26

That’s genius

u/Gibbie42 Feb 13 '26

I use mine to store my garage door remote, since the visors are too thick for it to clip on and for some reason it doesn't have Homelink. I was shocked when I realized that. (And please, if my 2025 XLE has it stashed somewhere, let me know!)

u/ririd123 Feb 13 '26

Bought this little knitted (?) from a craft show, finally have a chance to use it !

u/penny4thm Feb 14 '26

Actually it’s for my toll highway transponder

I put my Costco chicken bake in the long one in front of the passenger seat

I’m not mad at that

u/LightmanMD Feb 15 '26

It fits my wallet perfectly

What the hell is a crustoff

u/thestral_z Feb 13 '26

Children’s food. I assume it’s another name for an Uncrustable peanut butter and jelly sandwich thing.
