I’d guess ford will have a solution implemented pretty quick for this maybe for 2023.

Probably the easiest fix for them would be to just raise the height of the surrounding trim ring. Would think that would cut down a lot of false presses while still being full exposed

Creative…..where did you find the magnets?
I ordered a bunch of magnets, but keep in mind the cover is already magnetic, so you could also just attach a piece of metal with double sided tape.

True, but boy did it make for a strong 🦾 (snap-in) attachment😏

I bought a bunch of strong magnets too.

The science geek inside me reminds me that a piece of metal works too.

I went ahead and made this and printed it out. Right now it's two pieces. The base you can attach with velcro or double-sided tape and the cover that can be held in place with magnets or snap on. What do you guys think?

I recently had some radar detector mounts printed with Jawstec.com. The parts came out great and were delivered in about a week.

Ok I'm finalizing everything and thinking of making it a flip design so you could just flip it open to push the button.

What do you guys think flip design or pull off design?

After I finish I will sell you one if you cant print your own for cheap or put the STL file online someplace.
