    No pics YET... But I found some 1/8" foam in my garage. It's the stuff you get in the box when you buy the metal ramp ends that bolt onto a 2/12 to make ramps. Anyhow, it has that paper backing you remove and it's super sticky. I took one and it fit perfectly into the bottom of the glovebox. The bottom and part of the back are now insulated. Stuff doesn't roll around and make noise. Then I took the second and cut it to fit the inside edge of the center cubby behind the cup holders. It goes down inside and then across part of the bottom. Now my Leatherman, house keys, etc. don't make noise and fly around in there!

    It would be great to get more information about this as the cup holders in a TACO only hold a can. Crappy design. You have a great idea.
