First aid kit cover

[Emmo]

My manufacturer supplied first aid kit lives in a box under the passenger seat, but the cover keeps coming open. On inspection there seems no form of catch for this - is this correct or am I missing a catch or spring to keep it closed?

Hi Martin

I cannot say whether there should be some sort of seal on there but I would think so...quite possibly, someone has removed it as it would be date stamped (usually 1 to 2 years for the contents to remain steralised).

I would suggest that the contents are okay to use but if you are really concerned then maybe purchasing a new / sealed one is the way forward.

Hi Trevor

Sorry, I was probably confusing everyone here by not explaining myself properly - the first aid kit is fine and still sealed. It was the black plastic flap I was referring to on the front of the compartment where the kit is stowed. However, I have since got right down to have a look at it and I just wasn't pushing the clip down far enough to engage with the sprig on the compartment. All is well now thanks and it doesn't keep flying open now.

Thanks

problem solved....always good to hear a positive (and cheap) outcome
