Hi

Remove the under plate ( one screw in the middle under the glove box lid ) and disconnect the connectors from the interior light and the adaptors.

Pull off the edge on the dashboard on top of the lid.

Remove all the screws on the front and bottom, inclusive the lock.

Push the glove box a little to the bottom and remove the glove box light connector and the tube coming from the air conditioning.

Pull out the glove box complete with the lock.

Have fun, it's easy

What if the box is closed and will not open ?

Pull off the edge and with a small screw driver you can open the lock through the free holes, it takes time and patience the first time you do it, like every thing.

OK I got it open, boy it was fiddly.

The lockiong mechanism at the glovebox end is broken and I think the lock end of the cable is also gone. Can you give me the part numbers for both assemblies please ?

Thanks RFM !!!!

Glove Box Lock Mechanism

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This failed on my 04. I thought omg this is going to cost $$.

So imagine my suprise when the part cost $15. (955 52 127 01)

There is obviously a bad batch out there and the supplier has replaced them for free.

If you have any suspicion about the lock get a new one while stocks last I am this will not last.

[mudman2]

Makes sense. I have not put the new one in yet, but is there any trick to changing the lock over ?

Apart from the lock cylinders jumping out and being a little fiddly to put back all is now fixed and works so much better now

Thanks again
