I have never understood why people get so worried about that opening in front of the shifter. While I haven't found much use for it, I have never looked at it and decided that I need to throw money at it to make it go away. The intent was for glasses case or wallet, but under acceleration, they just fly out. Since it has been there since the Fiesta Mk7 was introduced a decade ago, people have been creative with finding things to put in there. It has been a constant subject ever since the car came out.
