umbrella - alternative to OEM
Been looking for an alternative to the Porsche umbrella for the pocket on the passenger sill, now $89.95 MSRP.

Found this Victorinox (Swiss Army Knife maker) umbrella, won't fit with the case but looks like it belongs without the case. MSRP of $37 and available at about 20% off -

Anyone found others that fit?

Yes, I'm just being cheap.
OEM is nice, just don't like the price. Suncoast shows it at last years price of $79.50 - with the Victorinox at less than $30 street price.

When I first asked my salesman about it, he even said, "can't you find another one that fits."

Rain or shine, the Porsche is out. I am just about to buy snow tire/wheel from Tirerack so I can enjoy my C4S all year round

i agree, you bought this car to drive. we all know we will take a hit when we sell so might as well maximize the most out is it. no reason not to drive it.

I don't bother with the umbrella, it is likely to go moldy or smell
up the car when you put it away.

I got the one from Suncoast - looks nice - very creative - very Porsche. I've always kept one in my car, but never had a good place for it. Of all the things to provide storage for - must be some serious rain on the brain in Stuttgart.
