Stop center console tray from sliding around?

[ravis22]

Maybe a stupid question, but anyone have a good way to keep the drawer inside center console from sliding around? Whenever I turn, not even sharp turns, the tray slides back and forth. Not a big deal but kind of annoying. It’s nice to be able to slide it when looking for something further down inside, but it slides too easily. Any hacks to make it slide less easily?

You need to spray something sticky around the edges of the opening. Maybe @Oldfart can help.

If you are also in the market for a gun safe, the E&G Console Safe takes the left half for the safe and the other side is for the drawer. The drawer then will fit in tight and not move, but you can still lift it out and use the space underneath. It's a real nice addition, even if you just use it for valuables. I got mine from Nick at @Nick@Apollo-Optics.

Had the same problem when I bought mine. I went to Vatozone and picked up some black door edge trim. Cut it to length and put it over the edge the tray sits in.

I can post pics in the am.

Rubber band around the bottom that slides works great.

A small binder clip has worked for me. Clip it on the rail the tray slides on.

Or go with a Dometic Center Console Fridge! I installed one in my R, Super Duty and Lightning. They’re great and I always have cold drinks.

Here is what I posted regarding this last year.

Center Console Tray

Listened to that tray slide side-to-side on every turn. Added some split rubber edging on the rails to keep it in place. I know my Gen 1 has some sort of grip felt on the tray edges to prevent sliding. I wonder if they forgot to install something on the R? Minor stuff... R, HAP
