In your center console is that sliding organizer. Anyone else's slide back and forth while driving? My 2010 F150 had a groove that prevented it from sliding around inside the console while driving/turning. This one freely slides as you turn... so, not only can you hear it slide from one side to the other, but when you open the console (say to grab a napkin/kleenex/etc), the thing is not where it "was". Annoying. Obviously, there are some "hacks" to prevent the shift, but making sure I am not missing something obvious before I hack it :)

I have one if anyone wants it, I got the safe so it’s just left over.
Sorry, to answer your question I have no experience with it.

Get some Tesa Tape and wrap it over the lip that the organizer tray sits on as well as in the notch on the organizer itself. This will provide ample grip preventing it from sliding and blends in well with the plastic making it near invisible.

I cut a few pieces of 3M Rubber Mastic Tape 2228 to put in the channel on the insert, three little pieces each side. Works a little too good, as the non-adhesive side of the tape will still grip the ridge in the console after some time and has to be lifted before it'll slide. After that initial tack is broken it will still shuttle back and forth.

Yeah, it's nice to not have it slide when taking turns, now.

I think if you went with some foam weatherseal you could get the same effect without the tackiness.

Nope, but I'm not driving like a competitive slalom on the street.

I got the safe too. Got a foam insert and cut out an outline of my .45 and now it's a gun safe. ? The sliding organizer? I put it in the secondary glove compartment. Doesn't slide around at all for me.

Neither do I, and I know what's that's like from driving my RX7. It would do it on any average 90 deg turn for me.

Yep, I feel your frustration. What's equally funny is when I "moved out" of my 2020 F-150 into my new 2022 F-150, I thought, hey I'll just swap my 2020 sliding organizer that I had nicely organized with the new empty one. The old one looks identical, however, it's like a 1/16th shorter... set it in the console and bam right to the bottom of the new cavernous console, spilling everything out :rolleyes:
