#1: Cover on the side of the dash? Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Tue May 21, 2013 2:25 pm ---- Alright guys,
I was just wondering if anyone has popped the cover off the side of the dash? And if so whats behind it? Its the bit that you can only see when the doors open
Thanks for any replies,
Paddy!

#4: Re: Cover on the side of the dash? Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Tue May 21, 2013 2:50 pm ---- Yeah thats it mate, the door closes over it, literally right on the side of the dash facing out of the door haha.

There is nothing exciting hiding behind the covers

All you will find behind the covers is the bolts & metal brace that attaches the dash to the body shell

It doesn't span the whole dash area BUT it leads to other areas of the dash where you wont be able to rescue anything easily that takes a trip there

On my never-ending journey of re-tightening bolts on my 206, I can honestly say I missed those.
There's a tiny resonance around there too..
Many thanks to the OP for bringing this up.

#17: Re: Cover on the side of the dash? Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Wed May 22, 2013 3:50 am ---- Back on comp now so I can post the pics
You can just see a bit of the off side one here
and this is the near side
Wouldn't mind knowing what the big bolt/latch thing is for in the middle though. Could it be something to do with what the robot held onto to place it in the car?

That's what I would guess to matey.
#19: Re: Cover on the side of the dash? Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Wed May 22, 2013 4:30 am ---- Yeah I'd guess the same, thanks for uploading the pictures mate!
#20: Re: Cover on the side of the dash? Author: Paddy1795, Location: CarlislePosted: Thu May 23, 2013 5:28 am ---- Although Macca has already posted a few pictures I'm gonna upload some that I took yesterday that show whats under the cover a little more. This is only the drivers side.
This is the cover I mean, removed in the picture -
A bit closer -
Under the cover, as you can see I have the fusebox open and it just drops straight through to the fusebox door -

#24: Re: Cover on the side of the dash? Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Fri May 31, 2013 1:56 pm ---- I tightened those up on both cars a couple of days ago..
The boss's one was OK-ish but mine were very loose.
Resonance still there behind the dash area (in colder weather) which is extremely annoying.
Every time I drive her car and this happens I start pulling out panels and banging on various parts in the hope of pin-pointing it. I'm sure I look like a total lunatic to other drivers and it's actually dangerous..
