Question Glove Box Pen

There is a place inside the glove box lid that looks like it is to hold a pen. Did a pen come with anyone's car? A big pen won't fit. I know this is being **** but those little things just bug me.

well when you open the glove box, there are two clips at the edge, we put a little flash light, i think thats whats it for, i remember a long time ago people said BMW put flash lights there, i forgot what the company of the flashlight is, but it is the ones that are metal, i think its mag-lite??? we bought a 3 pack at costco, and the medium size fits perfectly, thats all we added in there.

A tire gauge (not included) goes in that spot.

Someone posted a picture of how they had the glove box configured awhile back. They had a pen, a flashlight, and in the little compartment on the door, a sticky pad.

I have the pen and the sticky pad in mine but never did get a flashlite that fit. The tire gauge makes sense.

I've put a pen and a Mini-Mag flashlight in the two holders. I figured I'd use the flashlight more than a tire pressure gauge (and the one I use regularly wouldn't fit anyway).

If you don't smoke...why not take out the ashtray and put in the rubber mat we see on the glove box door? It makes a great extra compartment and the mat keeps things quiet.
