Default The bottomless interior slot between the dash and the windshield

Hello All,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

So, you go to a campground, pay a fee, and place the receipt on your JK dash. This seems pretty simple, until you discover that there's a bottomless slot between the dash and the windshield that will happily consume any pass, pen, or map you place there.

Anyone know how to access the bottom of this slot (pit). Anyone modify their JK to avoid this canyon? I can't believe that this design is intentional. Perhaps the designers never went into the outdoors where a permit on your dash is required.

Thoughts?

Thank you.

DG

take apart dash you'll find it all

MAYBE try one of those vacuums at a carwash, the nozzle might be strong enough if the papers are close

if it really bothers you fill it with spray foam Jeep thought that umm slot was a good idea, along with their pos radiator fan

Yep............. don't put anything on your dash. It only becomes an issue if you do....and it's small.

Trim some foam pipe insulation to length and stick it in the chasm.

Almost lost my clip on sunglasses. Luckily the magnets stuck to the window frame.
