DIY glovebox tidy

I had this plastic laptop shell laying around the house so i decided to make it into a glovebox tidy. The top is rubberized so nothing slides around. The upper divider is also pressure fit so it can be moved. I still want to sand the edges more and paint the rear bracket rather than cover it in electrical tape.

McGeiver couldn't have done a better job. Looks really great. I too would love to have the spec's, & hopefully a complete DIY idiot sheet. Please make it easy. I just completed a course of what a screwdriver is, and how to use it.

You have inspired me to try to do that

I think the MINI glove box is probably one of the worst designed things on the car (except maybe the oil filter). That glove box tidy should really help!

Thanks for posting!

Writeup won't come for a little while, at least until I can remake it in thicker material with closer tolerances.
