Update
 
Ok. I got around to designing a couple more and having them printed.

Here are the new concepts:

This was just to make sure that I had enough of an angle to account for the gap I had in my first design (which shouldn't have happned, but oh well...it did... get over it :rofl2: lol)

Then I designed it with a slanted top edge and a rib to help stabilize it:

And then I thought that it might just be a little too big and would stick out a little too far. And I remembered what pfdaxe said

So I went back and designed one without the cable management:

So I printed all three and tested out the one with out the cable management and the wire fit nicely behind the panel:

The scratch marks are from when removing the support material. I'm going to sand it down to give it a better finish on the final product.

So far it fits and works great. I might make some more minor tweaks on the angle the phone faces the driver for people who sit further back. And I might try making a full vertical section along the panel to prevent being able to slide it down without having the move the panel (it does take some force to get it to slide down, but under normal insert and removal, it holds up quite nicely).

Hopefully I can get an updated version done by next week. But we shall see.

I was able to rotate the mounting section about 30 degrees and it came out much better.

Here are the 3D Cad images:

And here is it on the kick panel:

If anyone else is interested, I might be willing to sell them. Let me know what you guys think.

Also, for those wondering, the bolt pattern on the holder is the same for all models.

I contacted ProClip to verify this.
