What do you call the side-pocket thing?
This is just a trivial general motoring question since most cars have it, but it's on my 8 so I thought I'd post it here.
What do you call those side slots on the two front doors(one on each side)? Those pocket-like things formed on the lower half of the door in the sides of the cabin a little below the handle. This may seem really trivial but it's really bugging me as to what technical names its been given.
e.g.:
(ignore the orange cat)
thanks!

Yup, and stupidest thread ever goes to one of the thousands of entries under "Syn oil/ Dino Oil for Rx8? 
". If this weren't a virtual chat room, people would get really beaten to death much like that dead horse has been beaten.
It has always been called a map pocket in my experience no matter what car I've owned, and the ones in the RX8 fit road maps from our auto club perfectly so that's what I'm going with.

I think Mazda made that to hold Bitch Shades.
jp, its made for like granny glasses or something.
i personally keep my shades in the cup holders. One lense on each side of the cup holders.
I dont like cups there while I drive.
but yeah, I suppose the map pocket would be a good place for them also.
