Default Quick tip don't throw your keys on the dash!!!

As the title says don't throw your keys on the dash lol, I did today and of course they go rught through the crack between the windshield and the dash. I spent 2 hours folding the windshield down to get them out.
All fun and laughs, atleast I got them back from the dark and scary crevice.

There is a solution for this. I found it early on in one of the threads about quick, cheap mods. Go to your local hardware store and buy foam pipe insulation. Stuff said pipe insulation into the crack between the dash and the windshield. And since it's black you'll never even notice it.

X 2 on the pipe insulation. Works great and costs almost nothing.

Of course, anyone with half an ounce wouldn't do it.
