The nylon cable mesh that houses the cables for the mirror, locks ect sticks out into the foot well when driving. I like stretching my left leg out when highway cruising but that folded over wire harness sticks out and is always rubbing up the side of the leg. Anybody else notice this and maybe have fix?

This happens on my wife's 18 Sahara. It sticks out in the footwell and hits my ankle. Not an issue on my 392. I plan on warming it up with a heat gun and forming the fold closer to the door.

I've heard a few people just use a small bungie to pull it in towards the dash. The bungie lets it flex out when opening the door

You could try putting a twist in it and see if that helps 🤞

That’s what I was thinking. Take the plastic cover and set something up like that then put the cover back on. Wouldn’t take much. Still waiting on my Willys to arrive but on the 3 or 4 I have driven, it’s the only thing that I didn’t like. Trial and error I guess

Yeah but it stretches right out when the door is fully open. The trick is to get it back into the loop once the door is closed And the slack is there again
