Adding Map Pockets to Doors

[TomoHawk]

Is it possible?  the 280Zed doesn't have them in stock form, but Personally, I cold use them so I wouldn't have to lay my race entry tickets, toll ticket, receipts, or any other loose papers on the passenger seat.

 

I would suppose so;  you just sew, glue, staple or otherwise attach a bit of vinyl or some flexible material with an elastic band at the top, with enough gathered material so you can put your map in the pocket.

 

Is there such a thing as an add-on pocket, in either cloth/vinyl or rigid plastic?  My DD has plastic bins on the doors where I keep some tools or rags/gloves.

I wonder if something could hang from under the door handle under the existing screws?

Yes, I suppose you could make a U-shaped, flat metal frame and stretch some mesh around it, with two holes to fit the armest screws.

 

How much vertical room is there beneath the armrest?  Don't forget the door handle is down there.

 

This one uses screws or rivets to attach to a door panel.

Mesh pocket from link.

You are right there isn't much room below the door handle.  I like the mesh idea, makes it easy to see what is in the pocket.  Some cup holders hang from the window ledge lip right by the glass, maybe that would work.

BMW has the mesh pocket attached to the transmission tunnel.  Not a bad option, but I'd only run the mounts through the carpet/vinyl and not through the sheet metal.

That is a good use for the screw-on snaps.

 

If not below the armrest, then what about forward between the armrest ad the window handle?  I will measure that tomorrow.
