Now I’ll be checking mine every time I go somewhere. The pen I have in mine just kind of pops in. It doesn’t seem to stretch at all once it’s in.
Is yours hard plastic or rubber?

The first time I found it had fell off, I thought I had found the pen I lost a couple of months ago! The disappointment…

Formed rubber. At least that’s what it feels like.

Eh.

Twice I’ve opened the center console and my pen had fell off.

Maybe that’s why they stopped adding them.
Mine too, I tried a couple of different pens too. So the one that came on mine is definitely shite.

Maybe using the free pen from my Credit Union was a good thing after all. It’s neon orange and black and seems to fit just fine. I should point out that I’ve had my Sport for 14 months and only discovered the pen holder last week, when it was brought up here. I’ll let you know how well it holds after a longer trial period. ?

Not done today, but I installed the covers on the rear window defrost wires on Monday. I received my step yesterday. Now I can reach and take care of the roof. Comes with a nice storage bag, too.

Well that is the handiest thing I never knew existed! Just added to my Amazon cart. Thanks for posting this!

That looks great! I saw another pic on here somewhere of the same mod but couldn't find it again. I think I'm going to take mine off too.
I don’t mind the way they look, and I will take every little MPG advantage they may give, but they seem to be begging to be ripped up/off if I ever pull up over a high curb or wheel stop.

Oh yeah! I ended up taking mine off earlier this week. I took before pics and never took an after one.

The rear ones were a little harder to get off since my ratchet didn't fit and I couldn't find my 7mm wrench. Had to use an adjustable one.

I feel responsible for starting the pen holder bull rush... :giggle:

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.

That’s one hell of a medicine cabinet you’ve made there. :giggle:
