Fairweathers dash organizer is my favorite interior mod. I think its safe to say that you'll get alot more use out of fairweathers work than out of the factory ashtray.

I'm *REALLY* pleased with the Dash Organizer I got from Fairweather. It's very nicely made and finished, fits perfectly, and does a great job holding various cups plus all my change, etc... He shipped it immediately too. Definite must-have accessory for me.

Received my organizer today and it works well. Fairweather does a nice job of it.

I can do all sorts of custom mods that make it fit your specific purposes. Here's one I made for a customer that wanted coin trays to keep the change handy for when driving alot of toll roads.

Here's a size comparison between the smaller version and the normal version that also has a flat space installed for mounting gauges.

Hey Joe...there is another thread showing how you can remove the front panel under your feet and under the seat and there is a nice area to make a sliding door in there.

While we're on the topic of organizing, I found one of these at Target and wood-screwed it in to the space on the front of the driver's seat pedestal...Doesn't interfere with my feet and offers handy storage right beneath you. I can't find the tan one that I have, but this is basically the same thing. I need to find another tan one for the passenger side:

Very nice indeed.
If possible show a pic of the dovetails.
These are not just thrown together.

Received mine today and I am thrilled with it. It molds beautifully to the contour of the dash and it is a high quality piece of workmanship. When I first installed it I was worried it would block the site line to the radio and dash knobs.... it doesn't! Ergonomically designed and well thought out accessory for the Vanagon.

Perfect... exactly what I've been looking for. I'm all over it. Thanks for posting, and thanks to fairweather for his entrepreneurial spirit.

I checked out the website; both the dash and floor organizers look great. Very nice work! Building a floor organizer and some trays to go between front and jump seats (Wolfsburg edition) have been on my to-do list for awhile. I'm not a fan of driving with hot coffee on the dash, but it sure would be nice for when I'm parked or for light things like my sunglasses when I'm driving.

there's good pictures on the website, and the stuff does look very well made! I don't want stuff on my dash, but the center floor storage, unlike my plastic gowesty thing, looks solid and fits the floor angle. Very nice.

It should not be frowned upon, this is exactly what forums are all about. Sharing user experiences with vendors, tools, techniques, etc....
