Ben... Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 This is what i did I opened the "secret compartment" using a screwdriver wrapped in a rag It bent the strike a little bit The existing catch is one way and isn't designed to be opened, so away with that! Get your 'secret compartment' cover Remove existing strike (I used a windy) I also removed the lugs Buy This eBay Link Cut the strike to length, I measured it to be 7.5mm Glue it on where the original one was, I used the outline of the existing rectangle to help with this I used Araldite and masked up a close square around the strike and built the glue up around it The rest of my trim is panther black so I sprayed it the same Ensure your catch fits on perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben... Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I then cut out this small piece of plastic 0.075" thick It fits perfectly over the back of the catch Then I removed the stereo fascia and clipped the catch in place I then replaced the stereo and attached the compartment back on to the hinge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark t Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 If you have a 2011 (August 2010) on version, the door doesn't hinge anymore, simply clips on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
