Glove box Removal

stocktake · 26th October 2008, 21:10

After reading on here about a drain from the sun roof that exits through the front bulkhead/inner wheel arch I thought I would have a look this morning.
The post said it was behind the glove box. No bother me thinks, whip out the half dozen or so torx bolts at the top of the glove box, still solid in place. Remove lower cover panel to reveal underside of glove box.....nothing, no screws bolts or nails. Weather turned a but nasty so put it all back together.

Anydoby know offhand how the glove comes out or do I have to trawl the Haynes and Rave ?

Thanks in anticipation

Dave you will find three more securing screws under Carpet inside the glove-box (close to front edge).
You can feel the recessed holes using your fingers to find them.
Gently lift "carpet" liner and will require re sticking possibly afterwards.

Cut littls "X"'s in the carpet, saves having to pull it off.
