Loz Cheung Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hi Has anyone attempted to get into the secret compartment ever since they facelifted the mk7? Wouldn't be surprised if no one has, since the passenger airbag light is housed there. But just out of curiosity, and under the possibility of wanting to paint mine as the ST's aren't gloss! Had a brief attempt but seemed more difficult than I remember last time in a mk7! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landwomble Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Did you ever get this sorted? I've just found this post via google after trying to remove mine - don't want to snap the plastics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan54771 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 You can remove it, prize it from the top on the right and left carefully. It gives in and pulls down and out. I changed mine to gloss recently Just unplug the airbag light and you can tuck the plug out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy45 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Use a pry tool if you can get one, a plastic one :) Plastic bicycle tyre levers are ideal as trim tools and cheap too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 What secret compartment? The one on the right of the steering wheel? Above the bonnet release catch? That's a tight little beggar to open! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5GDM Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 No, it's the panel between the heater controls & hazard light switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Oooh I didn't know anything about this secret compartment, have you got any pictures? Just so I don't break something that's not supposed to be moved lol Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
