Default Umbrella Placement

This may be a dumb question, but here goes. I recently purchased a 2021 ES 350. Love the car (coming from an Infiniti Q50). In all of the cars I have ever purchased I have been able to place my umbrella in between the car seat and the driver door on the floor. My ES 350 does not have enough space so I have relegated to placing my umbrella in between the backseats and the rear window. However, I recently was caught in a rainstorm (Miami) and had to get wet just to get to my umbrella. So I was wondering if anyone had any alternatives or if I am the only one with this issue.

Default Re: Umbrella Placement

I have a 2021 ES and had the same issue with my Lexus umbrella that I purchased from the dealer. I discovered there’s a ledge on the glove compartment door that fits the umbrella perfectly. When I open the glove compartment, it’s right there ready for me and doesn’t take up space in the actual compartment.

I keep a small folding umbrella in the seat pocket behind the passenger seat. Just need to reach over and grab it when needed.

Umbrellas are very expensive.
