This is exactly the kit I used for my Beetle, however on my Beetle (2001) it took a bit more "creativity" On my Beetle the screws are set way deeper, so if you somplt put the magnetic catch in, it is too deep to catch the metal disc on the lid. Also they are at an odd angle and will not contact the lid nice and flat. So Beetle owners, if you want this kit to work, you have to be a bit more creative. Do like I did and mount the magnets at the very top edge of the glove box. I dropped the glove box, and epoxy in a wooden strip of square right behind the upper lip of the glove box. Then after the epoxy is all set, drill a 12mm hole, but do not go all the way threw your wood, just a hole threw the plastic to expose the wood. The mount the magnets with the screw provided into the wood. Set your black metlel catch prices onto your lid on the perfect contacting spot and your good. The Beetle has to be different and difficult, but it works marvelous 👍

about to do this on my 04 jetta - my handle just broke

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

Yeah. It’s a common failure. Mine works great. Since the video was made my handle broke off too cuz my wife was trying to open it by moving the handle. I might try to replace just the handle.

[@bhugeloo95]

@@SanDiego_VDubLife the plastic just becomes so brittle over time

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

@@bhugeloo95 yup. Hopefully they sell just the handle. Probably eBay.
