Ram Tough-Track mounting option?

Any thoughts on mounting one of these: https://www.rammount.com/part/RAP-TRACK-A12U
on the shelf above the top glove box? Would it be a no-go because of the passenger airbag?

Yes, I think it’s a bad idea to mount anything there if you’re ever expecting the passenger airbag to deploy.

Fair enough. Finding a place to mount "stuff" is a huge pain in the neck in these cars.

It’s possible to turn the airbag off, of course... there’s the on/off switch on the door side.

haha I doubt that option would get the wifes (the most frequent occupier of that seat) seal of approval. Rolling with laughter

Hi

Indeed plus 1 what @ kajtzu has said , saw this video the other day and wondering if this may be any use to u , ref ideas etc that are away from airbags

Must admit would adore to have a 3D printer but alas not sure about using CAD etc to draw out the designs as looks way over my head

Gstuart,

I do quite like watching their videos. There's a few on youtube now.

I would have just bought the tray though! Rolling with laughter

I keep a small box of business cards on this shelf, the plastic box being very hard and rigid.

Should nothing be placed on this 'shelf' in case of air bag deployment?

I bought this one a few weeks ago from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RDP...&psc=1

Fitted in a D4 and far better than the shallow one I took out Thumbs Up

You can buy it with or without the fridge installed (search for the different variants).

Not sure about a D3 fitting though.

Their videos are great and I've watched them all. Buying a 3D printer, learning to use CAD and then experimenting like that sounds like far too much hard work to me though.

Hiya

Many thks as That’s the one 👍 , indeed wasn’t sure about if it would fit the D3 as would prefer that as seems a lot more useful than the shallow tray

Might buy one and suck and see if it will fit or maybe might need some adjustment Whistle

Alternatively a Ram Mount set up like this, mounted on the seat rail with one of Uncle Ray’s Balls, oh er!

Love the cupholders in the 3. Such a shame they didn't carry them over to the 4.

That tea is exactly the right colour.

And perfect colour for coffee. A pastry’s perfect accompaniment. Whistle
