I have never tried to store CDs there. I was just relating what the video said. When I purchased my 02 Escape I had a difficult time locating the Travelers size Kleenex. I finally found an internet janitorial supply place and ordered two cases. That will probably carry me through my next Escape as well. The Travelers are marginally smaller than what you are describing (4.75" X 4.75" X 1.6') and hold 40 tissues. What is the official Kleenex name for the size you found?
