Having lived with a Xtr spec Berlingo for 15 months, The glovebox is indeed rubbish as are the cupholders in the doors, Why are they there Crap idea. Door pockets are not too bad as is the box in between the seats which also holds the cup holder in mine.
There are also two behind the box but really only any good for cans.
The shelf above the windscreen is ok I find, Holds my timesheet book, Keys etc surprising what's up there.
Plus I have under seat storage as well which is where my 12" adjustables live.

I cant find it now but I think on polish or german berlingo site they modded an alfa 147 cup holder, its a little bit to wide so needs trimming but the curve is spot on

To me the cupholders are just one more item on the "WTF were they thinking at Citroen?" list!
I don't smoke, so removed the beautifully designed "ashtray" (small plastic lidded tub!), which came shoved into the left cupholder on my new van.
That left me with 2 useless cupholders, which have so far failed to hold anything at all. I removed the cigarette lighter plug to use the socket, so temporarily put that in the cupholder. Drove over a bump and it jumped out and vanished into Narnia (the space under the 3 front seats you can't really get to, which now has claimed the plug, an allen key, a Dentist's appointment card and about £3 in coins).
cratch:
Maybe the next version of the van will just have two holes cut through the floorpan and carpet instead. Thus saving Citroen money to use on devising plastic trim clips with even sharper edges…… or non-clogging turbo oil feed filters…… or heaven knows what…. :justno:
Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement…
