Anyone else annoyed by the "side pockets" on the center console? Ideas for them?

[jdmartin]

OK, it's no secret I love this truck. It's comfortable, well put together, just a nice overall ride. But I have finally found something that I find annoying/aggravating (other than the fuel filler/capless setup which I don't like at all).

It's the "side pockets" on the center console. You have to have some kind of midget fingers (little people?) to put your damn hand in there. Every time something drops in there I end up with a flat head screwdriver or something similar fishing it out of there. Who the hell designed that opening?

Anyway, has anyone found a good solution for either blocking it off or making it easier to use?

How? The opening is probably 1/2". I would have to see a picture of that to believe it!

The clip of the holster clips on the edge. Holster hangs near my calf and within easy reach. The gun isn’t actually inside the pocket

I’ll take a photo tomrw but a bunch of us use it that way to clip the holster

I put maybe some food coupons or an important paper I need soon. Or the pesky mask

I set some postcards in one once and couldn't remember where I put them that evening when I wanted to write them out. I tore that truck apart before I found them! I don't use them at all.

This isn’t mine, but someone posted how they hang theirs. I do it the same way

OK, that makes sense. I can see the belt clip fitting in there.

I think one day when I have time I'm going to make some kind of tray that fits in the entire length of the thing.

I keep a dust rag in there

 

[Vinnie.]

maybe I'll 3d print a tray to fit in there. could be a fun project... once I get my truck!

When I read this title I had to reply. I’ve thought this many times. Completely useless storage pocket. When I have something accidentally fall in it like my glasses I struggle to get them out. My hand can’t fit in to grab it. I would think they could of come up with a better idea than that. It’s only a minor issue though as I pretty much love the rest of the truck.

If you don't have the NAV, it's a great place for maps.

Whats a map?

 

[HemiDude]

Maps
Seriously, I have a slim package of hand wpies in mine. Before covid I would not have had the slightest clue what to put there

I like this idea. Dust rag on hand but out of the way AND prevents other crap from falling in there.

Same as above I keep my holster attached to it. Other than that never use the things cause I always forget about them. And one time I did put something in it, it was a PITA to get it back out.

I like the little pocket...I keep my mask in there and I have a punch card that I need for the toll. It is the right height and sticks up just enough. Also keep a post office key on a fob . So for me I think it's handy.
