i was about to pull the trigger on one of these and then started thinking...always dangerous ...if it slides in so easily, isn't it going to slide forward and out even more easily if you have a drink or two in it and you have to brake hard???? that could easily be remedied by adding some hook-side velcro to the back of it but i think that might start making the console bow out
any input on this from current users???

I have the single model...Maybe a very slight bow, and that's without velcro..I really like it...never had a problem with it sliding out when a drink was in it. It's pretty solid once you slide it in...wait..that didn't sound right..
