From day one I thought the shiny smooth cover to the storage compartment in front of the gear lever was annoying as seemed the logical place to put keys or glasses but they would just slide off especially with the holes in the surround. Normal non slip matting is too thick to allow the cover to slide with this type of mat in place. A piece of pond liner is the solution! I pushed a piece of paper down onto the cover to trace the shape and then cut the liner with a blade and steel rule leaving the front edge 15mm longer so that it tucked under the gap the cover slides into. It is held in place by a 10mm strip of double sided tape under the end nearest the gear shift. I measured the thickness of the liner I used and it is 1.07mm thick so say 1mm. The Cover slides in and out perfectly.

New Fabia picked up yesterday. Cayenne orange yet again, full service history, two new tyres and in very clean condition. No plans as such other than a good service and the usual bushes. Needs a window reg so I’ll do that with a new ‘how to’ for the guides section I think.
