Josh,

You and I are obviously built differently. I don’t see any possible way my left leg could rest against the door panel. However, any time I’m cruising at a constant speed, my right knee does rest against the down tube.

I too have the save problem as Josh. My knee rests against the top of the handle when preparing to depress the clutch. I can’t relate to all of you that have your knee against the right side pillar. That hits my leg below the knee mid shin. Yes, I have LONG legs.

I just ordered a RED knee pad to Match my CR/W 05 MCS body color interior dash. I have lived w/out the arm rest for a year, and don't miss it; the knee pad resolves the long drive knee against the column issue. Thanks. Keep up the great work.</p> Gabe, Please quit posting this stuff. I just ordered a RED knee pad to Match my CR/W 05 MCS body color interior dash.

It comes out nice and neat via the vents. This way the iPod is out of site yet I have the ability to control it manually if the need arises.</p> Installed the Dension Ice Link Plus and just routed the wire through the bottom behind the toggles.

I wish I had ordered on before I drove from Texas to Florida though. It looks great, doesn't fall off, which is what I was worried about in the Florida heat, and it makes driving your MINI that much better.</p> This is a great item to buy.

You and I are obviously built differently. I don’t see any possible way my left leg could rest against the door panel. However, any time I’m cruising at a constant speed, my right knee does rest against the down tube.
