Hi, new 2016 convertible owner and forum member.

Given the space restrictions of the interior and trunk for storage and organization, I did a search for on the forum for some ideas and it didn't yield much. I'm guessing there are some interesting and creative solutions that have been found by members that would be great to share here.

For example, I saw these door side storage boxes on Amazon.

Anyone else have anything to share? Please include links if you can.
Just arrived in mail yesterday and fits perfectly and one of the best investments in my Pony. Looks like a factory fit.

Do they fit tight enough to not rattle? The only rattles I have now are the mirrors when Shaker volume passes level 14.

I have two of these. They work pretty great for me, if the velcro gets weak on you, always able to reinforce it by stitching some stronger stuff on.
I couldn't immediately find the referent to this post, but "Velcro™" might indicate it's these: STAYHOLD.com. I've accumulated a set of the various sizes. They work just like the Irish designers intended. Very good, so far.

Amazon quickly supplies most of the StayHold stuff in gray; if you want other colors (orange, pink,?) it's overseas you go, and stupendous shipping costs.

Mine don't rattle noticably - they came with little little foam squares to wedge into the door handle a bit. I think the foam could be better, but that's an easy DIY. They also move around a little bit when grabbing the door handle, but not a real problem in my mind. I love being able to toss my wallet or phone there rather than on the console. One of my first & best mods as well:

They are very tight as of now and look original. Don't know if they start rattling in 6 months time but at this stage they are perfect.

I double side velcro everything in the trunk and stack them

From the left side of the cargo net is the box of velcro. Haven't figured out where to store it yet. The black square with plastic next to it are rubber chock blocks, the two black bags on the right are rolled up Traction Mats for this winter.

On the left is my socket kit on top, then a red plug kit in the middle, and a jump starter that uses a super-capacitor that it never needs to be charged. The small orange box next to it is a nut extractor set, and on top of it is a tubular lock pick set .

The back left corner is an electric bottle jack, and on top next to it in the black box is an electric impact wrench. The clear box is a bunch of retainer clips and the orange box under it is a caliper wind back set and the netting on the floor is just an extra one I had laying around.

The Nike duffel is filled with racquetball, boxing and gym stuff. The compartment to the right has all the cleaning & detailing supplies including a can of Lysol for when the HVAC or convertible top starts to smell funny. Behind all the bottles & microfiber is a tool bag and air compressor. The orange TEKTON box has a torque wrench inside

Left side of trunk lid is just boxes of band aids and Nitrile gloves. In the middle is my army first aid kit with work gloves on each side. Right side is another first aid kid, medical tape and a tourniquet.

There's even more stuff under the spare tire cover with jumper cables, zip ties, baseballs, gloves and whatever else I can squeeze into the spare wheel.

Where did you find the netting for the underside of your trunklid? Is that fitted for a mustang?

^^^^
This, I'd love to know where you hot that (or how you made it) as well!

I also have questions about the electric bottle jack. Does it actually fit under the Mustang?

Sorry to revive a thread over two years old now, but I'm in the project of heavily customizing how everything is neat and organized, and I'm similarily going for a look JohnDoe had posted above.

I currently have a 3D scan of the trunk area (where the "spare tire" would normally go), where I'm then going to design & 3D print some custom fitted inserts for my uses.

Looks like he purchased these right here, I have a set on the way. Search up "velcro cargo net" on Amazon for various sizes!

Nice catch finding the under boot nets - did you finish your 3D printed storage area? Would love to see.

Haven't quite started printing them yet, as I'm trying to figure out the best method for mounting it. I don't exactly want to bolt it down, because I don't want to drill holes, mainly in case I want to change the layout. So mostly looking into adhesives. I have a fairly heavy 2-ton jack stored in my trunk, and I'd prefer for it to stay in place, but I don't know of any adhesives that's good for a non-permanent bond between the 3D print + sheet metal in the trunk.

What I may wind up designing is some sort of "railing system" that will permantly be with the car, but allow the inserts to be swapped out as I please. All I really have now are part-models of the inserts that'll go in for my personall uses. Nothing beyond that at the moment.

It'll be tested with PLA, but the final product will use ASA for the heat resistance.

I am still very interested in what you come up with. I have ideas in mind as well, however, am not fortunate enough to own a 3D printer for fabricarion. I rely on cutting sheets of plastic for mine (not ideal, but meh). I can't wait to see what you think up, if you decide to share it! Thanks for the reply!
