I need help with an annoyance. The two dash 'cubby' storage areas above and below the center vents are basically useless unless there is a away to keep the little items from falling out. I already added a rubber lining to the bottom of each cubby. What can I do to these small cavities to keep the pens, tire gauges, chargers, cell phone cables, receipts, and other easily misplaced accessories from falling out???

 

I find that sunglasses make a nice friction fit in the cubbies. I put my Scangauge in the other. That's about it.

I you felt really annoyed, I suppose you could fashion some kind of door with hinges and magnets.

Just be aware that whatever you put it there may become airborn towards your face at high velocity.

 

I drilled a 3/4" hole in the left side of each of those storage areas and through the hole I have had a USB cable with a female socket. On one hole I keep a USB Stick, sometime an extra portable battery for the phone, the other I keep a recorder plugged in and fully charged in case I need to use it ASAP. Works great and they do not go anywhere. At one time I was keeping a spare phone there for Mobile Wifi but I no longer need to do that. I don't mind the storage. Just don't put too many things in there and expect it all to stay. Rubber is an option. I bought Rubber for mine, but never bothered putting it in. Velcro is another option.

 

I am curious what year is your van ?
I only have 1 of those bins were yours has 2 ?

 

The newer vans from MAYBE 2008 and up have two bins among other minor changes that came with an electronics upgrade across the entire product line I believe.

 

Mine is 2006... and if it has the same head light switch as mine then i would say it would fit.... im thinkin 2010 they changed the instrument cluster but its still the same deminsions......but i think the head light switched was changed....

 

my 2005 only has one and the lower ones location is just a flat area ,

I was thinking of putting a sheet of Velcro on the flat area and maybe a couple pockets for pens , combs etc

I like the idea of USB charger in the top hole and maybe a lip to keep the charging phones etc from sliding out....

 

Im gonna have to make another trip to the junk yard and look around....

 

take some pictures . and look how much room behind the holes is available if you wanted to put 12v sockets thru the back for phone chargers etc.

Thanks

 

I have two on my '16. I'm sure with enough tools, we could make a few more cubby's for ya, Ron.
