If you want to make something I've used these in the hard plastic dash and console trays of my Nissan Frontier to keep stuff from sliding around. Thin and easy to cut to size.

Yeah, I have nothing... all loose, crunch, noisy plastic.

Hey all. So i'm writing to find out if this bugs anyone else. One of my gripes about the car is the cheap, noisy, hard plastic cup holders that's in the car.

Is that an open invitation to help with the flush? I take it you have done this before and are familiar with doing it?
