Manual Case for Owner's Manual?

[kshaw]

I did not receive a manual case for my owner's manual with my 2023 BS. Was I supposed to? If not, this is the only car that I have had that did not come with one. My wife was pointing out how nice her case was for her 2021 Subaru Forester.

Oh no, another missing part...

I got a bare manual with my May 23 build BL. If if I had known about this in advance, I'd have grabbed the manual cover from my C-Max before I traded it in.

Still, I'm not in the glove compartment very often, so I'm not bothered about the lack of a cover.

Did not either. More cheaping out by Ford. I’ll never buy another one!

Didn't get a case. It sits in the glove compartment. Anytime I want to check something in the manual, I look at the pdf that I have on my tablet.

Wow... Just to confirm, we did get manual covers in previous years. I get that it's not terribly necessary, but it is nice.

FWIW, though. I just bought a big bronco (keeping the sport too), and it did not have the manual cover. I kinda missed it. I figured that was just because the big bronco has the manual built into the info screen. It's even crappier for them to leave it out of vehicles where the paper copy is the only copy you get...

No cover w/ my 23 OBX. Picked up a cheap school pencil pouch at Staples which had some exterior pockets to put insurance card and Roadside Assist card in for easy access. Tight fit but it works. Keep mine in the zipper pocket behind the passenger seat to allow for more glove compartment room.

Yes. That is what I ordered from Ebay.

Good to know. Guess I'll keep the Owner's Manual case from my '17 Escape when it gets traded in for my BS Badlands.

I read the manual on my phone.

I don't believe any of them came with a cover.

There's a kit on the accessories site you can order that has one. I think it's $160 and you get a manual cover, 2 key fob covers, a rear storage organizer, a sun visor storage thing, and maybe 1 or 2 more goodies.

I received a cover with my 21 Badlands but I never use the manual as it’s available on the FordPass app and I find that much more convenient than flipping through a book. The hardcopy manual is becoming redundant.
