Spanish_Fiesta Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I know the 'secret compartment' thing is old news now, But tonight I decided to open mine up and decide how I was going turn it into a functional opening and closing hatch. To my dissapointment mine doesnt have the hinge at the bottom which allows it to swing open/close. Mine sort of just clips in kind of like it does at the top. Has anyone else on here got the same kind of panel on their Fiesta (without the hinge) and if so been able to do something with it or convert it to the hinge type. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I broke one of the plastic lugs on mine trying to open it, I now have a secret compartment with the lid held on by small strong magnets. It does work and have no problems. Just stick them on with araldite. Edited April 5, 2017 by Titanium Wrong spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanium Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yes, I also have the compartment near the bonnet release adapted with a magnet, when I speak of magnets they are only a quarter of an inch in diameter and very strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
