Rubber insert in door well?

I think it is just part of the car, but it is extremely cheap. I think it should be lined or something....

 

I think it comes out so you can clean it...or something.

 

I assume you're referring to the storage area low on the door for water bottles and such? I would think that liner should come out so you can clean under it in the event of a spill or just to get the normal grunge out a year or two down the road.

 

I think he's talking about the very small crevice in the arm rest used for closing the door...probably removable so you can clean it...I was quite surprised when I realized the little carpet mat in the storage tray under the shifter column wasnt attached to anything and just came right out...weird...

 

Agree - the little rubber pad is no doubt removable, but may be tacked down somewhat at the factory with tape or such. Yours may need more adhesive or a good downward push.

That well inside the handle could capture rain water or if extremely unlucky, a drink spill.

This area IMO is a minor design miscue. I feel it would have been better to simply have the entire handle/hold open at the bottom. Every time I close the car door it seems as if the "hole" was designed for a dainty hand - not wide or deep enough. Can't imagine a big guy or gloved hand grabbing hold - maybe with 2 or 3 fingers. While I'm nit-picking. If they wanted to stay with the flat bottom, the inside part of the handhold should have been rounded in. When grabbing the inside handle with the fingers, the inside portion is completely flat. Not a comfortable or secure feeling. Guess these are the small things that Computer Aided Design doesn't work well. Need a mockup with a human being to test.
