heater slider
Waiting for SVA date at present and cannot be sure if the Polo heater slider / knobs I have fitted to adust the temp and postion of hot air will
fail.They are hard plastic and stick out form the dash by 15mm.Hard to reduse this as they move in an arc.Would rather leave in place as if we set to
hot demist and remove leaves the obvious slots where they belong ?

I thought they just had to be rounded, I've yet to come across squidgy production car ones. What about using a small powerball?

Could you fit the whole assembly using some plastic bolts or plastic rivets. The SVA allows you to have "sharp" items as long as they
detach or deform in an impact.
 
Section 6 - 5
Not sure how you would prove they would detach under a force of 40kgf (or even what 40kgf looks like).

leaving obvious slots where the sliders belong isn't an sva fail as long as the slots aren't too sharp or covered.
they can't accuse you of fitting something later that won't pass or we'd nearly all fail. they can only test what's infront of
them on the day.

I think it would need to be seen as 'perminantly fixed' to pass SVA
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

you ever tried to remove a superglued rubber ball, how permanent does need to be? My Bluebirds ones come off with the lightest tug

keep the ideas comming folks, maybe a few pictures of what people have done. Is it true that if I fit a block of material on the dashboard with the
slots cut in it and the heater slider sticking through it in the correct places then the new block is taken as the surface that the 9 mm is measured
from.
