Anybody do this?

You know that lower left hand tray under the dash? Has anyone left it open after getting something out of it, only to accidentally knee the thing with your left leg when getting out of the car? I've done this multiple times now (half of my own stupidity for forgetting to close it), and lets just say it doesn't quite close right anymore. I suppose if I would've had a legit sunglasses holder built into my sunvisor, I could've saved myself a few bruises and even more cuss words. At least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it...

I did it once when I left the car running, popped the trunk, and got out to see what was rolling around in the trunk. When I hopped back in I slammed my knee into it. It should have been on the right of the steering wheel IMO.

I've hit it a few times. It's a nice place to store change or something.

Well it's good to see I'm not the only one out there who's done it. I've been debating for some time if it's just a bad design location or if I'm just a klutz.

I've hit that stupid F*&k'n door dozens of times. Bent the tab on the left side once, I've hit a few more times. Broke tab off, I replaced it with a small screw, works great! I haven't left it open since!
