    Above head (glasses) storage solution

    I have no idea what its called and google isn't helping much, but the unit compartment next to the windscreen rear view mirror on some t5s, presumably for glasses, doesn't hold bits very well.
    So what do other t5ers use it for or do with it? I also have the buttons that is a favorite button, call button and vw assist button which i haven't used.
    Has anyone modified this area or use the storage pocket for anything in particular? as whatever i put in there always falls out going up any bumpy hill or incline.
    Cheers Frank.

    You can buy a silicone based webbed matting from those reject shops , it is brilliant as it stops things perfectly from moving . Easily cut with scissors to sit inside the console .

    You could add some stretch net to keep stuff in.

    franco,
    what it needs is a larger lip at the front to keep stuff in there.Maybe you could glue on some card or plastic strip

    I have an old cargo net for our trailer if thats any good to you , stretches out to around 4 square metres , sorry couldn't resist . But as others have said maybe fabricate something to create a small lip across the front .
