Title: glovebox broken
Post by: gixer1400 on 18 November 2010, 10:52

hi all ,
on my 1989 mk2 the two sprung retaining clips that hold the glove box lid in place when open have been snapped off :angry:
 so it just falls down, this is a right  pain to close as you need to use both hands  :sad:
 is there any way to fix this or will i have to find a 'new' lid ?  :huh:

you can just replace the lid. Reasonably easily. Just a bit of a fiddle to remove the plastic pins in the hinge.

My old glove box lid had a retainer clip snapped off one side, and a bent bit of plastic glued on as a substitute. It worked ok, but would occasionally pop out.

thanks that sounds like a plan  :smiley:
 will give it a go later, in a well ventilated room of course  :laugh:
