Got a broken map lid? Here's your solution

[Sacrilegious-FD]

I had one fitment was good,

Ha, I know, but I can always hope to get a reply.

Anyone else bought one?

I have one. Fits great and looks like the original part.

 

[snoopios]

Awesome, thanks guys.

 

[WillGTR]

Anybody happen to have one of these in the UK for sale?

Postage for the moment on their site is throwing up errors.

Just get a new oem. Why mess about with dodgy replicas.

Could probably walk into a Mazda dealer and buy one to. I ordered a headlight cover from my local dealer and it was there next day for collection.

Haha fuck that, I'd rather get some plywood and paint it black and shove it in there! Fucking hundred quid for that shit stain! Fuck off!

The replica is actually made of a stronger plastic

This is what I thought... I suppose if there's enough 'sudden' interest could ask them to do a group buy....

 

[Spendyrx]

Yeah but I don't see the point in spending 100 quid on something that's pointless! My cubby just has decayed KFC salt in the bottom and some wet chewing gums! It's just another place you can dump your shit and forget about it! Keep that sort of thing for your golfs and 3 series bmws

The sales pitch had its desired effect

 

[Nas80]

Nah it is. I have a stock one which is flimsy as hell and this new one turns up its proper rigid.

How do people actually break this?

How do people actually break this?

Doesn't take much. Resting an arm on it will do it.

 

[Nas80]

How I did mine. First it broke on the hinge. Then it fell off when I closed the door. I got in and accidentally sat on it. Bag of crap flimsy rubbish

How do people actually break this?

Just opening it broke mine

 

[Nas80]

See the new one working perfectly.

 

[cib24]

Not the best fit, that.

Anyway, surprised they break from opening. I use it all the time and it's mechanism looks very robust. Not sure how it would break unless the design was different on the earlier cars.

 

[rob fd]

That panel gap is serious. Is it so you can slot coins in without having to waste time opening it?

 

[WillGTR]

Nas is that correct fitment? The one fitted per this page appears a cleaner fit http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_forum/showthread.php?t=18134.

Had the issue on the final gen by accidentally resting my elbow on it. I may just buy both.

To be fair it could have already been fdoc'd, first time i opened it it snapped into 3 pieces
