DC2 fuse box wont close

[vtecing]

Hey my fuse box under the steering wheel wont stay closed. This also happened in my old dc2r, so im thinking it might be a common thing? any one know how to fix it? Looks like the metal clips might need to be readjusted or something.

get some tape and tape it up.

I havea dc2r, cover sits nice and flush, but because my car isn't worth a million bucks, i'd just get some clear tape and go from there. No point spending money on a cover which you'll pretty much never open.

same problem here thought I was the only one...

[Bulbasaur]

this is a very common issue and can be easily resolved by pushing it back in

its the clips inside, there are two of them, one on the left and another on the right... off the top of my head i dont remember how i fixed it, but i bent a tab up and it allowed it to sit in its place a lot better... sorry this is vague... but go and have a fiddle, they are flat steel mounting clips

Did I just say that to myself?

i have the same issue in my dc2r! the clip seems to be worn or widen, just softly bend the hook/clip together and it should be fine.. maybe atlease for some time

i tried this already to no avail :(

...unless you have wiring or something preventing the lid from being closed...the clips should be able to be tweaked somehow to get the lid back on. use a small flathead screwdriver to help you bend the clip a little so it would hold better

otherwise go to a local wreckers or hardware shop to see if they have better condition clips that you can replace yours with
