My GTi's coin box door can't be closed due to some problems with its' latch. Somehow, the old latch wasn't latching to it.
So finally I had some time on my hands and decided to become a MacGuyver for today and dip into my dad's tool box. I found some magnets, screws, metal washers...and viola.. the idea of a magnetic latch like on those cupboard doors came to mind.
Anyway.. below are some photos of my DIY for those who are interested. If they don't appear here, then you may go to my http://denniswoo.fotopages.com to view them too.
