Helpful tips

Use these loading tips to improve your chances of fitting VIHALS Sideboard, white, 55 1/8x18 1/2x29 1/2 " in VW Polo 2021.

  • Optimize opening width

    Keep the narrow edge leading while entering the opening.

  • Load diagonally first

    Load diagonally first, then straighten once inside.

  • Plan package order

    Load each package one at a time. Individual package fit does not guarantee all packages will fit stacked together.

  • Clear real-world obstacles

    Clear the trunk before loading. Existing cargo, trunk cover, and wheel-arch bumps can reduce usable space.

About the VW Polo 2021 boot

The Polo boot is a supermini boot: short, fairly wide, and easy to load low. The opening is 36¼″ across but only 27⅛″ tall, so tall boxes are the first thing to catch. Seats up you get 26″ of floor, fine for a shop or a couple of cases, not for long cartons. Fold the bench and it opens to 54⅜″, a gain of 28⅜″. The good part is the floor: 40⅛″ wide at the narrow point and almost flush with the sill, just a 3⅛″ drop. With the sill at 27½″ you can slide flat boxes straight in without lifting over a lip.

About the VIHALS Sideboard, white, 55 1/8x18 1/2x29 1/2 " package

The VIHALS sideboard ships as two flat boxes, the larger one 56¾″ long, 19″ wide and just 4″ thick. It is a long, flat, rigid panel set, and the pair together weigh 136 lb 11 oz, so weight is the real issue here, not bulk. A slim 4″ profile slides into most trunks, but the 56¾″ length wants an estate, a hatchback with the rear seats folded, or an SUV. Load the heavier box first and lay it flat, then the second on top. Protect the long edge with a blanket, and lift with two people, since 136 lb is a lot to move alone.
