Overhead cupboard lower latches

[IanH777]

Having had yet another lower stowage latch snap (total to date: six) have decided to invest in a complete set of magnetic latches for all overhead stowages.
I remember seeing a post which was advertising them (around £300, I think) but can’t now seem to find it.
Has anybody tried them and could anybody point me in the right direction, please?

Hi Ian
As you said a known problem.
I have only one broken catch and would ask if anyone has the VW part number for an OE replacement. . As we all know the time we can loose trying to get a parts person to identify bits. And then their screen, the one they ask you to check ‘ is this the part ?’ Faces away from you !

Here you go. They are from Germany and look really neat. They are on my list to purchase in the near future.

Magnetic handles for the Grand California

Friends, the handles in the Grand California are an ongoing issue, even if VW has managed to change something in the basic design with the MJ26, the whole issue

Thank you so much!!!

They are really good. A massive upgrade from the plastic ones; they open when you want them to. Not sure if this differs between 600 & 680 but make sure you get the correct one for the back locker. There is one that fits for ambient lighting set up and one that fits for those without.
