Default Umbrella Holder Retrofit

Hi folks here is a quick how to on fitting the brolly holder to the toolbox in the boot.



So you will need

3 x Screws (N 91090701)
1 x Umbrella holder (4E0860264) list price is 14.68 inc vat

The unit is fitted by cutting the toolbox like in the following pictures and then drilling three holes for the screws to hold the part on.

In order to find where the holes need to be cut I put tape on the cover so I could mark where to drill one the big hole has been cut.

Start by cutting a small hole in the middle with a stanley knife approximately where the protruding part sits, once you have a hole big enough for you finger to get in you will feel a recess that the grip will sit into, continue trimming the hole out till you are at the edges of the recess and then you can place the grip in the hole and centre it.

Then trace round the grip with a pen so you have an outline, you can then transfer the measurements for the mounting holes or carefully peel of the masking tape and poke through the tape into the holes as i did then stick back onto the box for drilling of holes.

Once your holes are drilled, just have to refit and stand back and admire your handy work.
