is there a door-installed first-aid kit anyway?

It's a plastic box that slides in under the seat, similar to this one

I do have the passenger door still attached (of course), but I've got the side pockets filled with various loose items. Probably need to move them to a better spot, in the trunk. Never had the BMW first aid kit, though.

The mesh pocket will just keep items under the seats (both seats are already set to our favorite positions, so they're never moved) from sliding forward, but maybe should just use the glove compartment, instead, on the passenger side.

But, on the driver's side, I'm absolutely needing this...the lockbox weighs about six lbs, and might slide under the brake pedal, so I'm going to use a mesh pocket there, to eliminate the problem. I'm planning to use some 3/4" or 1" self-drilling screws to mount the bottom of the pocket's frame to the raised metal under the seat, and secure the upper corners to the seat itself, using zip ties. The elastic nature of the pocket will allow insertion and removal of the two boxes, but hold them in place until needed. Out-of-sight, but handy. I'll get the pockets sometime today....
