Miikeyboy 10 Posted May 31, 2017 Just wondering what people do to refurb their heater boxes.other than change the matrix, Is there a certain type of foam/ gaskets required etc? Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted May 31, 2017 People have used sticky felt. I managed to get box from a polo as it had better foam than the corrado decomposing rubbish and was a straight swop. Even the side vent foam fitted. What I will say is that in doing this, it's a great repair in your controls working properly. Good luck Cressa Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miikeyboy 10 Posted May 31, 2017 Which year polo is it? Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted May 31, 2017 It was an old 96 N reg basic polo. Seems Vw swapped to a better foam. I believe people are happy with the sticky felt method as well, but I got the Box for free and robbed it of spares Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miikeyboy 10 Posted May 31, 2017 Ok that's great thanks for you help Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted May 31, 2017 The polo box internal parts and flaps are all the same. Unfortunately the controls are on the wrong side and not the same as a corrados so those bits are useless Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted June 1, 2017 I went to hobbycraft and got some sticky back foam, worked an absolute treat. Anything to stop air passing by will work though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
