Ford Fiesta secret compartment

[vivafoxpro]

Hi kids!

Eto e para sa mga katulad kong mahilig magbutingting at kumalikot.

It may be a psychological pleasure to have some control over things or just human curiosity, some of you may share my pleasures. Some will feel its plain stupid to mess around with something that is working fine.

"To each his own" works well... Here goes:

In between the "hazard" and the A/C controls, there is a plain silver plastic you can pry open using a flat head screw driver or the large blade in your swiss army knife. (Kung masira to, bahala na). Bumukas naman sya and you can see in the picture the presence of hinges meaning this flap was designed to be opened and closed and not removed once an item is placed inside the cavity.


Taking a closer look, you will notice a metal clip around a plastic peg. Sinubukan ko isara, ayaw na. Put*##$$, payat P5,000 pa-repair nito



Cooling down and examining it more, I concluded na ihiwalay mo yung metal clip sa plastic peg. Insert the clip on the frame, then click! balik sa orig


Wala pa kong maisip na pwede ilagay sa secret compartment na to pero sure ko lang may nakabalak na and mga designers ng Fiesta. Baka naman yung inyong "voice control" computer and nasa loob nito.

If ever, the peg and clip should be replaced with those "push to lock" and "push to release" catches for it to be useful.

..bangis mo talaga chief.. hindi mo talaga tinantanan ha... ayus so confirmed na pwede nga talaga mabuksan yang cover na yan like what some malaysians did...
...kulang nalang is kung pano mapalitan yung clip ng push button locks.


..... natawa ako dun sa part na "ayaw na sumara" .. hahaha! reaction ko..."O ayan.. sige kalkal pa.. masapek ka ha.." sorry chief natawa lang talaga ako.. but then, you still managed to figure it out... nice

Haha.. salamat!

Wala pa ako maisip na pag-gagamitan dahil an daming pwede paglagyan sa loob. Baka maliit na oven toaster pwede. Kasya kasi isang sanwits eh...

Pag nangati pa daliri ko lagyan ko sya ng automatic catches or magnetic catches.

hehehe... sir, natawa ako sa pagmura mo... kidding aside, im glad you found something very useful. great for stashing emergency funds or anything else that can fit it! a compartment that you wont probably open for a very long time.

i think since there are flat surfaces naman, you can try those easy to install velcro w/ stickon backs, which btw i placed on the sides of the ashtray/coin round container, to make it harder for my 1 1/2 year old kid to remove.

Seriously, if one is going to want to use this compartment some modification of the locking mechanism is a must.

Sometimes curiosity pays off. Good job sir. May mabibilhan yan na lock. The velcro suggestion above would work.

Dito sa Cebu, my auto shop thats sells different clipss, maybe they have that push pin type locks. I was surprised they carry different clips in different sizes and shapes.

Pwede yun sir, but you would need a handle or knob of some sort. Medyo apektado yung looks. Maganda gaya nung fuel cover natin. Di ba puro push? push to engage and push disengage.

Sa Ace hardware baka meron din.

^^^^hahahahahahah. !#$% mahina ba ang 5k?

[harold13]

Kahit joke lang, malapit din sa totoo. Try mo magtanong ng duplicate key. Ang sagot sa kin mga 7 thou daw.

Sabi mo nga fog lights 20K

[Chuckomenda]

great! pwede nga pushlock
a secret compartment for what?

[hausteam]

Magnetic catches would probably work. This is similar to the ones used in AV cabinets. It's not very secure but you wouldn't need a handle. The magnetic catch can be installed inside and a small metal plate can be glued to the inner side of the door.

sabi ni harold13 pwede daw para sa condom...


.... oo nga naman, nakakahiya kung itatapon mo nalang sa bintana matapos gamitin....
