the mounting for the door panel one will require the drilling of your door card to accept the mounting studs. The first versions will be for cars with the "pockets" on the doors. I may produce another version for those without.

the prototype for the map pocket model is done. The center console prototype pad is also done and are being tested in my car. Once i am satisfied ill start making the first prototype in the actual materials.

And the crank window, non map pocket seems like it might be working out as well!

My driving impressions with just the real rough rough model i seem to like it. I am going off my own thickness, firmness, size and contact area. Plus i ensured that even my 5'1" fiancee with the seat almost all the way up can still sit without the seat hitting the pad.

And with my 6'1" self, it should cover a good spread of people!
