First, I’d like to say "I like what I see of Chooglin’s glove box he selling". In no way do I want to take away from his sales and/or idea. It just doesn’t make sense for us Canadians to buy one, with the exchange and shipping, it would be at the closer end of a $200cdn bill. So I started thinking out of the box and came up with a simple solution. I bought a universal boat stereo box (Pyle # PLMRCB3). It is water proof, plastic, a decent size ( I can get my big mitts in to it no problem), it’s cheap and install took less than a half hour. I unscrewed the small wire back piece and replaced it with a cut out piece of the dash. It has a rubber seal so all good. I even used a rivet to secure box to the factory bracket under the hood (just needs a slight bend to line up flush), so no movement at all. Box comes with a template, so easy pezy to cut out.

I Agree storage is a problem on the 500. I am not one to bash hondas design but the lack of a glove box is probably the biggest oversight on the machine. They could have put that warning plate in a lot of other places. Even just a cubbyhole in that loction with no lid would be a big help.

No glove box is a shortcoming on the 500, so is the sorry headlights. Neither should be acceptable on a machine as good as this.
