ok this is a follow on from the cubby i have just bought, nothing wrong with it as its a nice piece of kit, matches the interior perfectly. my problem is that my sat nave is too wide by 4mm
its so close to fitting but yet so far
here is my satnav
and here it is sat ontop of instead of in the cubby
and here is a close up showing by just how much, its litterally the thickness of the plastic
i've been racking my brains on how to get round it.
i cant dismantle the unit as there are connector slots and dials and switches on the front.
i cant cut the sides out completely as i'd cut through the guide rails for the lid and the lid wouldn't work, and i'd also seriosly weaken the box.
but i have been looking at the unit itself. the amount of plastic i would need to loose is exactly the thickness of a lip that runs round the outside, see exibit below
how safe do you think it would be to sand off 2 mm from each side? one side has a little led bit on ot, but you'd never see it once the units in, and all the sides are hidden in the back.
i was just contemplating taking the power sander to it, does anyone else have any better ideas?
