Default Hey guys, is the shelf under the glovebox the same on US and European TT's?

I need to know to answer your question, as I recall that you are in Europe and the dashboards are distinctly different.

My shelf under the glovebox has never rattled. IT may be a loose clip where the dash ties into itself.

Anyone else?

Let the silicon dry overnight then rub off unwanted fingerprints with your thumb.

Mineral Spirits works on most of those kind of things, and is safer than most solvents

Hmm, I think you could use de-natured alcohol.

Default It did, Jim, thanks. A little Vinylex afterwards for that deep black finish, voila!

Now I have to drive to see if it worked rattles.
