    Thumbs down Fuse cover tray/lid

    Hey, has anybody else got problems with the fuse area cover lid dropping down on legs while driving? The two plastic screws are useless after a while, gettin' p&%#@d off and about to throw out window of car, while moving.

    Hot glue. Holds it in place nicely, and with just the right amount of force will just pop open if you need to get in there again, peel the old glue off and put some more on there when you need to close it up. Works a treat on mine anyway.
    Gravity is proof that nature keeps getting us down.

    Yeah new screws will help, but when I had the same prolem I found that where the hinge was (down low on the panel) the hinge pin was missing. Never had any problem since I put the cap off a ball point pen where the hinge pin used to be!

    lol... i know the pain, on my brothers car, the plastic tray undernearth the fuselid is loose, so sometimes ur foot gets caught on it and u nearly smash into something :P, as im missing 1 clip, they fixed it later on in the later models by adding more clips lol... u can get them from holden, probbly be round $1-2 each... its cheaper than a accident :P
