Overhead sunglasses storage refitting - Octavia 3 VRS

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Does anyone know of or can point me in the direction of the fitting of the sunglasses holder?

I accidentally caught mine when it was opened and it has come out of the surround, with a spring hanging down either side.

I have looked in the manual, but that part does not seem to be covered, just the mirror unit.

I have a feeling I need to remove the whole surround indicated by the green arrow

Thanks in advance

You shouldn't need to remove the whole assembly, it can be dismantled in situ. There are three sets of wires to consider as well, which can be tricky to disconnect.

A set of trim removal tools aren't essential but make the job easier.

There are small springs either side of the drawer which are fiddly to replace, but it can be done!

I can send more photos later as I'm not at home at the mo.'
