Ouch! I feel your pain. I, too, have a nice replacement passenger map pocket for my car, but under my desk at work as it's not likely to get broken there.
Actually, when I sold my old 740 (after seven years of being careful about the sort of stuff), the first test driver (and fortunately buyer), kicked open the driver's door... CRACK!... in my imagination, I was banging my head on the dash.
When people get in the 240, I usually find myself inclined to (but don't) give an airline stewardess style run down:
1. Don't slam the doors.
2. Don't kick the doors open.
3. Here is how the door latch functions from the inside. Don't pull it outwards and wreck it.
4. Rear passengers keep their feet off the center console... actually all passengers keep their feet off everything but the floor.
5. Beverages are forbidden... except for me... and then it needs to have a lid.
6. Don't touch stuff. That switch in the dash does *something*... and it doesn't need to do it now.
7. Should we put down in the ocean, the seat cushions... yada, yada, yada....
It's tough when I need to do this to thirtysomethings.
