Just out of curiosity, how are folks attaching things in the cubby?

Let gravity do its thing?
Double sided tape?
Stick on velcro?
Something else?

I'm not looking at making any permanent changes to the cubby, so no screw holes or permanent epoxies for me.

I'm thinking of having a small figurine in there, similar to many others I've seen posted here, and for now looking at 3m doible sided tape. I've used that at work with good results.

I have made a few "cubby toys" and mine have been held in place by tension. It has worked pretty well so far. I have had trouble getting 3M tape to stick for any length of time anywhere on the dash I have tried it. I wonder if there is a residue pushing out of the plastic... cleaning with alcohol before trying the 3M tape has had no effect in it sticking long term, regardless of where I have placed it. As far as the cubby hole, I want to be able to swap things out easily. Right now I have Gnathan the Gnome chilling in the cubby.... he is held in by tension and sits in pretty solid.

Did you ask old Gnat if he was good with this
If not, bad juju

Gnat is pretty chill since he has his flower for shade.

My baby Buddha chills in the cubby hole just fine. LOL

Had this hanging around for quite a while. Can’t remember where I picked it up. Made of some soft rock, like a brick. Had to cut it down a bit. Squeezes in, held by friction. Couple days now. So far so good. Color goes nicely with the Lariat interior.

By the way.... if you "think inside the box" suction cup cell phone (or GPS or whatever) mounts work great. They are to big to stick to the floor of the cubby but stick just fine to the WALL of the cubby and since they are on a universal swivel it does not matter which axis you stick the suction cup to.

Just sayin.

Taco holder is the only acceptable answer.

IF my Mav ever actually arrives, I have this figure ready for install in the cubby. The Mav will be my retirement travel vehicle, and my retirement mood will be ....sloth. Ain't doin' nothing 'less I want to!
