Kooky idea for securing enclosure.....(will this work?)


Recommended Posts

Ran into a little snag with the box build for my Sienna

 

It was glassed into the 8th seat storage cubby hole in the left quarter panel

 

Problem is even though it's a snug fit, it still needs to be properly secured to keep from popping out on hard left turns

 

I don't want to drill any holes on the panel itself, so I'm thinking about using a heavy duty fishing magnet like this on the inside of the box and hot glue a steel plate (or maybe another magnet) to the backside of the panel

 

  

 

 

 

Will this have any effect on the sub?

Adhesive backed velcro will not harm your panel. If/when you decide to take it off, a little bit of non-acetone nail polish remover and a cotton ball or soft cloth will easily remove any leftover adhesive and leave your panel looking like nothing was ever there

I'd rather not.

 

Had that stuff kill my dash before, never again

 

Removable double sided tape will do, but this is just a precise fit that anything between the box and the panel pushes the box out to where the bottom trim panel won't fit flush anymore.

 

Any thoughts on the magnet idea?

Hot glue won’t be strong enough. 

The hot glue will only be there to hold the steel plate or second magnet in place hidden behind the panel.

 

Epoxy wpuld be better, but I don't think it'll be necessary.

 

Once I have the box in place, the fishing magnet inside will cinch it down even tighter (pulling the box against the panel).
