is it possible to transfer the skin off of an 06 cubby door onto an 03, so that it matches the console??? thanks

 

+1 I have looked at the skin and it did not seem that easy to replace it. Any info would be appreciated!!!

 

Any updates on swapping the skins?? Are there any threads of someone successfully doing it?

 

You shouldn't be worrying about that. The 03 Cubby doesnt even have the right holes for screw alignment to fit the 06. That's why there's an 06 cubby that matches perfectly. But not to sure about the nav finisher, and I don't beleive anyone has gotten the nav door working properly yet. I know evobunny is working on this i think...he has the 06 cubby, not too sure if he's gotten the door to operate yet.

 

sorry voboy I didnt get the door to work. I just didnt bother with it. its not really a big deal for me to have it up. it just something less to break. my brother who has a computer electronic degree said it wouldnt be hard to make a chip to make it open and close. but you would have to buy one of those chip building kits which cost a bit.. like maybe under 100. so I wasnt worry about it. someone on here makes the chip and sell them. but I remember it being very expense. so I was like forget it.

 

I re skinned the 03 cubby with my 04.5 door.

The doors are the same size and shape but the back of the door is different enough to cause problems for people not used to winging it.

For the lower part, I took the back frame off, cut it across the center so I could use the lower half with the latch.

For the top I used a small strip of steel that I bent and riveted to the metal part of the lid door. This attached to the spring that pulls the door up. This part was probably the most difficult. It has to be aligned perfectly or it will pull on the door at an angle and cause it not to go up.

Here are the pics I took when I did it a while back. The ugly plastic melting is how I got the lid reattached to the metal frame.

is the same screen...I got one from ebay 2 weeks ago $100, looks beautiful

 

Does anyone know if someplace like courtesy parts or some other site sells the 03 cubby?

 

mynismo.com is where I got mine.

yes it can be done on an '06, did not buy anything just a little dremel and that was it.

Details please? Is that the factory pocket with the back dremeled out?

 

no, just a cut about 1/2 inch wide and the screen was slit underneath.
You do have to remove the plastic frame from around the screen, a little fiddleling with it in the cubbyand that's it, the cubby still intact in the back. The rubber mat just have to be cut, so what you see in the pic is just the front piece, a hole in the back for the rca video and power wires and that's it. The door still closes, I secured the monitor with a small plate under the cubby so if won't fall down. It looks perfect. and better yet no $ was spent

nice mod

 

Very clean. What kind of LCD did you use?

 

Seconding the "what screen is it". I have a Lilliput 619GL (7") that I'd like to install. Looking at what you did, this just may be the method I've been waiting for.

 

the screen is a farenheit, and yes is just a slit about 1/2" wide, the screen sits on the hinges (on top), also you need to dremel the inner upper cover edge so when you close it doesn't hit the top of the screen.

 

kool, thats wat i wanted to know. one i get the funds i will buy a 7in screen and do this mod myself.
