Because it does not fit in the glove box just wondering if most keep it inside somewhere? or not inside? Thanks.
Where does one keep the manual/booklets ?

Mine fits in the glovebox just fine, although I keep it in a file. I have a searchable PDF on my iPhone if I need it.
Sounds like its time to clean out your glove box. That's where mine lives too.

that's weird maybe i am mistaken I will try it again , Do you Literately need to have it EMPTY? And can put nothing else in there haha ?
I only have manuals and registration in there. I put in a trailer wire adapter and hitch key and small stuff, but the manual goes in first while it's empty. Small things on and around.
The TLC drawer in my garage.

Has anyone ever had a weird issue with passenger door slot (where i keep my heavy manual etc) I have not 100% diagnosed this but is seems the slot creeks and rattles when anything is placed in it, I kinda felt around when nothing is in there and noticed that the slot bottom and front side are not attached to the inner most piece of the opening, Kinda like maybe came un glued or something? I hear no noise unless something is in that side pocket! and its not effected on the driver side? kinda odd.
This is where I keep my manual now =)
I believe the OP is taking about the black vinyl folder which contains the owner's manual, tire warranty info, et al. That of course will not fit in the glove box. Personally, I left the vinyl binder in the garage and put the owner's manual in the glove box.
When I shipped my truck to Africa, port maggots stole everything not bolted down, including the nice Toyota leather case that held my owners manual.
I got one of these Maxpedition pouches that holds the manuals and fits in the glovebox perfectly.

Yes I am talking about the entire oem binder with all the booklets! haha Thanks for clearing that up for me! I had a ML55 AMG and about the only thing i liked about it was is had kinda like a safe compartment under the passenger seat, I am sure it was not worthy of a real safe but it looked very safe like and that's where the manuals and all that crap is kept and is has a lock too haha. This is not mine and this one is RHD but this is what it looked like haha. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct...EnNunuFAv8w82AZb0CP_uqOw&ust=1393303693532896

Very cool. I have no doubt that your ML55 was a stone cold blast to drive. That supercharged 5.5 V8 is simply awesome. Better still, the engine/tranny combo in the 55's is quite robust. I have driven a S55 and CL55 in the past few months, neither of which were not treated kindly, and they drove great.

Ya it drove great but Compared to BMW I kinda think MB does not think about the small things a great Example is the NEW CLA I personally think its the worst thing i have ever seen MB come up with, Take the Dash for example I swear that Ipad looking thing in the center as a HUGVE eye sore not built into the dash like it should be was a pure after thought! I can think it went something like this OK guys the car is finished! Oh Crap we forgot the radio and command area, OK we will just duck tape this screen to the center of the dash! I also hate the fact that they are going with the FWD crap! Its like OK guys lets not try and make out traditional LONG 100+ years of RWD more affordable lets make a new FWD model we just started to have experience with and test it out on the stupid Americans! lol They also ruined the dash of the Gwagon as well Sigh the original awesome box! Oh well it is what it is! This is so very off topic might as well throw in a awesome off topic video I think all will enjoy! Let me just say its beast! haha Enjoy!

You can always keep it in one of the compartments in the rear quarter panels if you really want your glove box freed up.
Good call. That would work nicely. I have jumper cables, tire repair kit, first aid, and towels in that area, but it would be a clandestine place to put the binder.
As for the CLA, I think it is a pretty good looking design and the CLA45 is pretty impressive. Especially impressed by the industrial design considering the front drive underpinnings. MB was in a bit of a pickle with the G in that they needed to bring a 30 year old+ design up to modern levels of convenience. Insane how fast MB makes those bricks...
