The glovebox lid on my Gti vibrates when the car is cold
Applying pressure to the lid with my hand stops it but that clearly is not practical.
It also disappears when the interior has warmed

Well, test drove the alternative vehicle today and have decided to do the swap.

Moving from a three door white GTI with Pan Roof, leather, winter pack and Dynaudio, to a silver three door with leather, winter pack, and the Performance Pack. I've seen very few three doors in silver but actually thought it looked really smart. I also thought the extra performance of the PP was quite noticeable (could all be in my head though). Standard stereo seemed perfectly good and while I think the sunroof looks nice I'd never have actually opened it! It's also one less thing to go wrong / rattle.

Pick up the new car with twenty miles on the clock on Tuesday. Hand back the car with a thousand miles on it.

Fingers crossed that this one's a bit better built than the current one as I really do like the car.
