None... but it pays well.
Mine knee keeps hitting that too. Does anyone make a cover or something for the lock unlock button?

I am on the verge of installing Lexus door and puddle lights, when I do so, I'll probably add a disable/enable switch to the lock buttons... could switch them off with 4 door rear windows disable switch... that might mod into my 2 door windows switchs. It would look stock as for fitment.

I did the following as a temporary fix but it is still working so it will stay at least for a while. What I did was scrunched up the loose netting and put some zip ties across the top, no more sagging. The attached picture is not the greatest but this netting was very saggy before the zip ties. The netting works just like it did when new. This took about 5 minutes to do.

I have a huge assortment of zip ties, note to self...

I have the Unofficial Use Only pockets, and while they solved the saggy net problem and look clean, that water bottle holder digs into the side of my leg to the point where I have to keep my leg bent on long road trips. I can't use my dead pedal at all. And of course I can't go back to the OEM because those get destroyed when removing them.

For me, I would love it if they made a version without the bottle holder. That would be the perfect solution. I even emailed the company about this a couple of times, but I never heard anything back. I thought about trying to heat the plastic and somehow push that bulge to be flush, but I'm sure I would end up making it look horrible.

I'm a big guy (6'2", 280#), so maybe someone smaller won't have this issue.
I just installed just the driver side so far, and I completely agree; the bottle holder sticks out too far and rubs against my leg, which I find uncomfortable, and I'm not a big guy. Although they look like stock items, I personally think this was a poor design in that respect. The other issue is that this is not reversible, and if thought this would be an issue, would not have purchased or installed them. I've considered various solutions, including purchasing a new stock saggy net, but think I'll try designing and 3D printing a smaller compartment to replace the water bottle holder. This will require cutting and attaching the new part, probably with glue and plastic filler, but not quite sure yet. I'll post pictures once completed.

Is that a squirt soda??? I haven't seen one of those in years. Where do you live? The 1980s? Is Micheal j fox your neighbor? Is your daily driver a delorean powered by a food processor?
LOL, in the 80's we'd go to the O Club at Ft Wainwright and order 7 and 7's. They always tasted better than any others I'd had. One day we got the bartender to tell us how she made the. She used Squirt instead of 7 Up.

As I mentioned earlier, I didn't like the Unofficial Use Only pockets, as the water bottle part sticks too far out and uncomfortably rubs against my leg. I also don't understand why the other part of the pocket is that narrow, which can only accommodate maybe a few pieces of paper. I first tried modifying the water bottle part, but lost patience, so looked at every possible solution I found online, and ended up with these Sheam pockets I found on Amazon (I have no affiliation). They do not require removing the door panel unlike the Unofficial pockets, but since I already installed the Unofficial pockets, I had to cut most of them out except to create a frame similar to the original mesh pockets for mounting these. They don't look as stock as the Unofficial pockets, but work much better IMO. There is still an area for a a small or rectangular water bottle, but stick out much less than the Unofficial pockets (they also have a straight version that doesn't stick out at all), and though my leg still hits them slightly, being rectangular instead of round makes them much more comfortable. I also like that the narrow area is still practical for other stuff, while leaving just enough room to get to the seat controls.

Thanks for the write up. It's definitely one of those mods I should have skipped and just tied up the nets with zip ties (or cut them out completely).
