I feel responsible for starting the pen holder bull rush...
I've never had the pen fall. I had a metal/steel tire gauge in there and gravity won regularly. I think if you try to put a regular Bic ball point there, it will be a bit thin and fall. You need something a tad thicker like a Pilot G2 or perhaps a Papermate Profile or one of the gimmies from the parts counter at Ford or a title company. This is my dealer pen and it has never fallen out on or off road.
This sort of tire gauge is no Bueno there unless you like to constantly put it back. Maybe a plastic body one would stay better? Would be a superior function to the pen, IMO.
