I have been trying to get someone to create this. I’d love to know what you come up with. These buttons drive me crazy!!!!!. Just this afternoon I was getting into my Maverick with my crossbody bag on my right hip and my traction control got turned off. It’s literally worth $100 to me if someone constructs something useable. I made a makeshift cover that’s ugly as fuck but the double sided tape I used for the hinge came loose in the heat.

That is my concern with using double sided tape I think yours looks awesome though!

I was thinking of something along those lines. Are you using the slot to hold it in place?

You might be able to get away with making a trim piece that pops in on the back under the edge of the trim and then just hinge to the right.

Thanks for the idea. I will look into that

I was able to find small car trashcans from Amazon and use the top. It fits very well. Just used some thin 3M double-sided tape to hold it in place. The trashcans (comes in a package of 2) were about $10. I am very happy with it.

Neat idea! Can you post the amazon link?

Just a warning that the slot bottom is not solid. I found out the hard way that a small (think wallet sized ) picture that meant a lot to me fell down through the bottom and there seems to be no way to retrieve it. I had put it in the slot after showing it to someone and while i started the truck and pulled out my wallet to put it back in. I shone a flashlight down and apparently it just slipped right through!! I cant even see it. A credit card couldnt slide through but a thin smaller piece of paper could. UGH

@RichardCranium - it's been a while, you ever end up finalizing something?

This ended up being a need for me, so I ended up making this:

I do like your design though, would definitely minimize material and print time. I used slats because there's quite a variety of button configurations between the Mav models/trim levels, it seems. Wanted it to be more universal so others could use it too.

Well, if anyone wants one of these with the slat design - here's the thread with more pics. Apologies if I hijacked the thread, but for me this has proven so useful that there has to be other pet owners out there who could use it. I've seen the flip-cover design from one of the chinese parts companies, kind of surprised there's not more offered for owners with pets.
