Dash Centre Storage-Tray

[Minkey]

Anyone know how this comes off?
I have trim tools. Just need to know method and which direction to pull/push/jump on it?

Cheers

I've had that off before.

i think you can replace it with the front window blind receptical . . . . .

from memory it had 4 or so clips . . . . get your trim tool in there underneath and start wedging.



but here is the official word from VW . . . .

Out of interest why are you removing it ?

It pops out easy enough by levering gently up at the centre.
I needed a place to hide my Garmin satnav / reversing camera monitor so I made a hinged cover. By chance it also keeps the sun off the Garmin screen so it’s always visible.

Hi guys, just bought this genuine vw storage box to replace the open tray on top of the dash
Has anyone fitted one, and are there any hidden fixings?
If so what did you do with the redundant 12v socket?
Any help or advice is much appreciated
Cheers

I'd like one of these also..is this a vw part?

I don't know of anyone who has done this yet, so if you're successful it would be great! Keep us posted because I'm sure there are plenty of us who would want to be able to do this.

Yes it was sold as a genuine VW part, it's not arrived yet as I've only just bought it but looks as though its stamped underneath when I blow up the photos
£100 inc p&p off ebay
Only downside is that it doesn't have the 12v socket so will lose that - or relocate it
I've also bought the van-x upper glove box so will be fitting them both when they arrive

Will post some pics and let you know if it's easy or not

My van x glove box..very impressed

 

[Superowls]

Yep, that's the one I've ordered, looks good in place......and keeps things out of view
van-x also have a YouTube video of it being fitted so looks easy enough

Just hope the top box is as easy

 

[Superowls]

Can I just ask, when you fit the trim that goes between the upper & lower glove boxes, do you lose the open shelf - or can you still access it??

You can still access it. The cover is held in position with self adhesive magnets so can easily be removed and replaced.

Just a thought, but if the dash top cubby is a genuine VW part, might it be for the comfort dash, not to retro fit into the standard dash?

Thanks for that, might look at the same

Yes, fair point
But at £100 it seemed cheap as the only others on ebay are £170-£180 so thought I'd have a gamble at it fitting
If it doesn't I'm sure I'll get my money back at that price
