Re: Dash board storage solutio
i wouldnt give those plastic things van room, rattly peices of pooh!In a hour or so with a bit of ply and some imagination you can make a sturdy dash top with undershelf storage.

and as for the drinks holders, save your self a packet and go to a pushbike shop and buy a drinks bottle and holder for a couple of quid, throw the bottle away and you have a strong flexible holder that will hold a proper mug or a takeaway cup or a can for loads less than the wessy one.

Re: Dash board storage solutio
Look, don't waste your money on these overated 'accessories'.
I bought a couple of small black seed trays (hard plastic type) which I affixed with double sided adhesive sponge pads/tape. In the bottom of each I put anti-slip matting cut to fit. Works perfectly and cost - £4. Job done and no screw holes! Most people assume its a standard fitting. With mats in they don't look like seed
trays.
Turn on to the pound shop revolution - its amazing what will work in a T25 and you know what, their wiper blades are ok too - £1 a pair. And try to avoid building wooden structures on dashboards. If the passenger seat belt should fail, consider what they might come into contact with.

Or indeed that solid metal dash under it!! If you seat belts fail then you shouldnt be alowed to drive a van in that state!!!
