My sat nav's turned up in the post and I've started on the fitment...only I can't find anything metallic to attach it too. Everything in reach is alloy so the magnet doesn't stick. Everything in the hole where the stereo used to be has been removed and not sure how to remove any more of the dash. Any ideas really appreciated.

Ps. I really want the shark fin so if any one has any tips for removing the roof lining I think that'll be the next task.

I should also add...is there a way to search earlier posts for the same type of questions?? I don't want to waste peoples time if there are already answers on here.

Thanks people :happy2:

Use a double sided sticky pad and stick it to the crash bar.

dajonic:
Thanks hedge...

I'm not afraid to take things apart and put them back together. I knew the insides and out of my old Renault 5 GT turbo but that was through blood sweat and tears. Technical wise and what things are called is another matter, so hence my next stupid question....whats the crash bar and what does it look like.

Thank you.

I can only speak in terms of a Mk2 Octavia as I have not installed the Nav on my Golf but it is the flat piece of alloy that runs across the car just behind the windscreen.

This may help even though it is VRStu's Octavia site.  :wink:

Ah ha so thats the crash bar...Will set to work immediately.

If you do fit the satnav to your golf you'll find the gaps for the crash bar alot tighter than the VRS so might take a litle prying to fit the puck. I'll take a few pics and post up when finished.
