It’s for the alarm. 

[eesamnomercy]

thanks for the reply.

 

it looks like the alarm can not be fixed to the new glasses storage, so will put the older one back on.

It should do mines did clips are different though but it does fit.

AMD87  thank you again

 

the two do have different clips to secure the alarm. the old one has the side clips and newer one has just two tiny bottom clips but hold the alarm really well.

 

thanks again

...You will be waning to fit the under seat storage boxes next!

Welcome to the site.

If you are interested in installing the under seat storage boxes, you can buy them with the screws from theSkodashop: Left hand side, right hand side and fixing screws.

...WOW! Used to be around £7 a box! I think they cottoned on to how many people wanted them!

Would boxes from a polo fit?

[Johnfc2017]

They were probably £7 a box in the past, but because of Brexit and the Euro, they had an excuse to stick the price up. It seems even fleabay has marked the prices up!

 

You may want to look at the model number to see if the polo ones will fit. I know the VAG group use parts on all models across the board.

I think they came from the earlier Fabia's first and yeah, i saw them used and on the "Bay" Selling for more then a dealer asks but still, huge mark up and as for Brexit, Thats bull-shine. Things will creep up here and there but not leap. Mostly it will be VAT and excise duty but that is still exactly the same until the deal is done. 

The sunglass older too, went up way prior tp the suggestion of Brexit as again, they knew there was a market so they up the price to test the water. Sell a thousand for 37, nice. Sell 700 for £20 even better. Don't worry about the 300 drop-out customers that decided to forgo the pleasure, take the cash! This also keeps the item more exclusive.

 

That said, I've sen Chinese versions of sunglass holder (Virtually identical and non-critical part) For under a tenner! I think Skoda list them for around £22-£25 and they used to be about £17.

The mk. 1 seats came with the screws already in the bottom - you just had to order the boxes.
