Dead Space?
What is supposed to go in the compartment between the sunglass holder and the dome light on the "ceiling"? And better yet, What do you put in there?

I was thinking that, but there is no way to affix it in the compartment. Duct tape?

There was double sided Velcro pads in the 2001 ex that I had and in the 2005 I have now, looks like it's from the factory also.

Anyone come up with a creative use for that spot? I've got homelink on the visor so I don't need the opener in there.

jeep, yeah, that would be great except when you hit a big bump and it opens and falls out and clunks you in the side of the head. remember, its a ford and and a junk plastic clip holding it closed. I prefer to have my gp100 .357 on my hip. works great.
