I have a 2020 Palisade and while I knew I would lose the divider tray, I thought I could still keep the 4 essential items on top of the Console Vault. They are an eyeglass case with my work safety glasses and hearing protection ear plugs, a 4" folding knife (rolled up in a microfiber cloth for wiping windows and eye glasses, a small set of house keys for a friends house and a quarter (because there are more and more stores that want you to rent their carts. Well, they all fit on top of the Console Vault - which by the way - is very solid and SUPER EASY to install. My only problem was that the quarter and the key ring would slide all over when stopping, starting and cornering. My solution was to bring the vault inside my house, remove the combo knob, peel off the Manufacturer label and apply some felt. I bought a small piece of crafting felt for less than 50¢ and applied it with some spray adhesive. When it was set, I trimmed the overhang with a razor knife and then cut a slit around the lid opening. I thought about trimming exactly around the lid, but left the overhang on as it creates a more seamless look. Now my quarter and keys stay when I put them. As far as trying to glue the felt on the top and lid without the lock in place, I put a rubber band under a very strong magnet on the inside of the lid and then hooked it to the bottom opening with a small S-hook. Any downside to this installation? MAYBE. The locking knob rubs ever so slightly on the felt. It does not prevent it from operating in anyway and I am certain that after using it, it will wear the felt down a bit. I may have voided my warranty by modifying it, but I weighed the odds and decided that with as sturdy as this is, my engineering background and my level of experience in mechanical work, I felt I would not cause any issues with it. I keep my Garmin DriveSmart 65 in a case in the vault along with the dash stand and when the need arises, I can put my Ruger SR9c in the vault without needing to remove the GPS or stand.
