Hi all,
With the weather turning wet once again thought I'd enquire about people's solutions for keeping an umbrella in the 991. I don't have much spare space in the glove box and don't like leaving things loose and unsecured in the cabin, while keeping it in the boot wouldn't be very convenient if it's pouring down. I bought the expensive Porsche umbrella that I thought would be designed to fit in the passenger door sill cubby hole but alas, it sits proud in there and inadvertently gets knocked out as a result by passengers, so I'll be returning it. This is the one I mean:

So as far as I can see Porsche doesn't make an umbrella that properly fits in the strangely curved and tapered door sill cubby hole that I thought was built for this purpose. Does anyone know of a good quality umbrella that fits in there or another solution such as an umbrella holder or mount that doesn't require screwing into the interior?
(I have a 991.1 C2S, not sure if the cubby hole is any different on the wide-body or .2 models)

Edit: Just remembered they also do another one that may be slightly smaller: http://shop1.porsche.com/uk/lifestyle/outdoor/wap0504500g/umbrella-racing-collection.pdds
I didn't go for this in the first instance because I believe its cover is grey and wanted all black to match my interior, but perhaps will give it a try now.
