Default That black hole gap between the front seats and the console....

Has anyone found a decent solution to keep stuff from falling down there?

I've seen some "as seen on tv" stuff like the drop stop car wedge and the catch caddy and wonder how well they work in a JK/JKU. I WAS actually thinking about buying something like that but am hesitant.

Does anyone out there use one for their JK/JKU? For a while now I have just taken some jeep catalogs, folded them longways and stuffed them into the spot between the driver's seat and the middle console. Looks like crap but it works. Note: I also have an old western digital brand slim portable hard drive case that I used as a project box to hold two small toggle switches and put it in the part of the gap near the seat belt. It also fills part of the gap.

I was able to pull the gauge surround trim and radio and retrieve stuff. Now I just try to be careful when I chunk stuff into the dash "bowl" above the radio.

I still have a Snap-On screw driver in there somewhere. It has a small magnet on the handle so it's suspended somewhere behind there. And doesn't rattle.

I know that with a long weekend(LOL) you can fold the windshield and that gap is wide open then. And all the change and car keys and "stuff" can be inventoried. Haha.
