hi Excalpino yes tried that but not very good as see tape through the holes which i thought did not look vert good as car manufactors do use thin carpet had nissan qashqai before that had the same in the glove box i was feed up things like my ipod floating around but dont anymore

If it is not too hard to remove the glovebox lid I will probably send mine off for flocking.

Those cheapskates at vag need a good flocking imho.lol How much would it cost to line glovebox and door bins............pennies to a company this size.

Stuck some bits and bobs in the compartment under the seat, mobile cables, mob windscreen mount etc. Went out earlier and the noise from it ..you can penny pinch that wee bit too much.

I'll second that flocking

Time well spent

Took those bits and bobs back out the under seat storage, It'll need smurfed before it gets anything back in it, was like driving around with a set of loose bowling balls in the boot.

You put them to shame Smurf, a job well done, I'll get around to something similar myself when the weather picks up, need to as I'm not using the storage spaces. It wont look as good as yours but I'll use you as a benchmark

I bet your Gerry Anderson 'Tracy Island' looked the bees knees

You should be producing these commercially and do ones for doors etc., you could make some serious dosh.

 

[Andy]

Sounds like a plan, the queue is forming already

This looks interesting. Was looking at felt in craft shops but this looks more promising cheers mate and 5 metres will be enough to do all the cubby holes.

Flock would help but I reckon you would still get some vibrations. This might be easier than the paper: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251464857012

The Golf Mk5 glovebox is flocked at the factory. No vibration issues with ours over the last seven years.
