I didn't I'm afraid, I have 2 different pop up Audi monitors (electronic riser and push to pop types) ready but ended up putting a halt to any further mods until I see whether I'll be able to keep the van or not.
Dashboard modifications
- Thread starter Mattsvan
- Start date
question for all - the top cover on the comfort dash - the one that is hinged - could this fit a normal dash? ie the shape? i know that there are no connections there on a normal dash.. just wondering if i can buy one to get the shape, and then go from there?
I looked at doing this ,and decided too much work and would not be a good fit .
@Pauly do you know the cost and part number for number 1 in this pic? im thinking to get this, and make it fit a non comfort dash - or is this a no-no?
And if you make a mistake its a new dash .

@carlg is it sure its not a good fit? Did you test this?
im not fussed by the glove box, its really the top lid that gets my goat at the moment..
even if i buy the part and just use it to mold the shape that would be interesting... depends on the cost of the part though!
or if someone with a comfort dash is willing to share the mold with me (for beer or other) i'd be very keen!

No I didn't try it but spent a bit of time looking at ways to do it .
I did see a lid on german ebay .
He might of used the lid off the top tray .
He had a small frame which he had fixed in .
I have tried searching for it but can't find it .
I change my dash for a full comfort dash .
I want the lid too but its not going happen
Have you guys seen VAN-X are about to bring out a cover for it ? looks like a speaker cover that sticks and screws over the original tray !
I saw post on FB a while ago, but now can not find it. Sorry
I've taken a punt and bought the OEM speaker cover from VW
My van is with UBERBUS at mo, back in a couple weeks, soon as it is im going try fit ths cover, will involve cutting dash however, or i cut the lugs off the cover and bond to dash !
I'll post a pic of the cover here

i didnt even know that ^^existed... when you say you'd like the top try but its not going to happen - why not?
and fitting this mean you wont have a cover but more speakers? or am i confused?
would be interested in the top try part number - cant seem to find that!

I’ll sort part number for you tomorrow When get out receipt.
The OEM box and lid like on comfort dash won’t fit standard dash.
I hate the tray it’s useless.
I’m not good enough to make a hinge lid. So I bought the speaker cover.
Think caravelle owners can order a dynaaudio upgrade. It’s a couple of grand. But I found the top cover. Just to see if it will cover the tray.
First inspection looks like it will.
When get van back I’m going give it more time. I’ll loose use of tray but not bothered. I may cut the tray and sink an extra speaker in it first. Buy the van x Matt glove box and extend the usb charger from top tray to glove box. Or not. Don’t know yet.
But one way or another the top tray has to go. There are lugs and clips under the cover to clip into dash. But my standard dash has no receivers. So cut dash ? Or cut clips off and bond to dash over tray to save holes in dash if goes horribly wrong !

yes i know that the box and the lid wont fit as is, but i am curious as to whether or not the lid is the same shape, i can then make a mechanism that does the opening and closing and it'd be an assembly totally apart.. i just cant find the number! @Loz or @Pauly would you guys be able to come to the rescue? i have searched and searched but only found one for polos online..
ok thanks @Pauly . Weird that its for lhd?!
yeah i was hoping to get the assembly, take it apart and then go from there. If i really mess it up then i'll take a trip to germany, 2h from here and over a few days ill fit myself a poshmans dash.. seems to be lots on german sites (lhd so for me all good)..
dont want to really spend any more on this van but the dash is a useful mod..
