I put a net on the underside of my 2010's console lid converting the empty space into storage space.

The net I already had laying around, but you can buy that kind of thing at fabric shops.

Utility Fabric Cargo Netting at Joann.com.

Note: melt the cut ends of the netting with a flame to keep it from unraveling



I attached it in a really half-assed jury-rigged way though. I drilled small holes along the sides of the dark grey plastic that is right behind the light grey plastic (where you see the netting going under the plastic) and took some thin wire to pull the netting tight up against the holes, then tied off the wires behind it so that the netting was stretched taut.

so I finally got my garage door opener mod done I decided that I wanted to hide the button more than others have so I used the hole where that little plastic clip with the Philips head on it is pulled that out reamed the hole to be able to fit the back end of the switch wired the wires into my garage door opener by soldering them and then soldered on the switch I used some industrial velcro and the garage door opener actually sits right up on the plastic part towards the top out of sight this cost me a total of $4.22 at Radio Shack for the switch some wire that I had laying around and of course some velcro or you could use double sided tape the best part is I could just cut the wires off of the garage door opener and the opener can still work without the little push button switch

[QUOTE="The Black Jeep;3925913"]
Great idea. My only issue is that I have a gate opener also for the community we love in. I do like that though and it is tempting to try. I suck at soldering...may have to look into this though especially since I am still on the fence about where to mount the homelink mod.

There are numerous videos on how to solder on you tube but the number one key is use flux that is the mistake everyone who says I suck at soldering makes
