"Mopar is committed to providing additional parts and accessories that further enhance the minivan ownership experience," stated Christine Cortez, Senior Vice President, Global Service and Parts, DaimlerChrysler Corporation. "For our new 2005 Chrysler and Dodge minivans, Mopar has even more thoughtful, compelling minivan features that focus on safety, entertainment and convenience."

The new items include a hard plastic rear storage bin and carpeted lid to fill the depression behind the third row, a rear storage bin and table that does basically the same thing but includes a removable table perfect for camping, a carpet covered rear cargo tray with Velcro-backed cargo locks for securing items and hard plastic storage bins to fill the second row seat wells with handles for easier installation and removal. For those wanting something even more functional for every day, you dealer can sell you a black fabric tote bag that fits into the same second row well.

Other Mopar options include either a small or large cooler, the first fitting into the second row wells and the latter slotting into the well at the back. A must for any family, it's possible to get a well-stocked safety kit that includes a flashlight, jumper cables, fire extinguisher, reflective triangle, tools, water rations, etc, to fit into that second row depression.
And what about accessories for that cool overhead rail system I briefly mentioned earlier? A CD/DVD holder is available that carries 20 discs, or maybe you want to add an overhead first aid kit with gauze pads, cleansing towelettes, insect sting relief pads, trauma dressing, adhesive strips, flexible bandages, butterfly bandages, scissors, adhesive tape, etc.
On another note I particularly like the dealer optional outside mirrors that include turn signals integrated right into the mirror itself. That's a feature normally associated with premium marks. Other Mopar accessories include outside storage containers for the roof rack, wind deflectors for the hood, and the list goes on.
