How Do I: Remove the Glove box

Postby psy » Sat Nov 17, 2012 4:05 pm

Just wondering how I can remove the glovebox (assume I need to do this to fit the satnav dvd)?

I can get the door off, and have located 3 screws along the top edge but that doesn't seem to budge it. There appears to be some plugs along the top and bottom (?) are these covering screws? If so, How do I access them?

Thanks guys.

You can remove the existing compartment in the top right of the glovebox without taking anything off. It simply pulls out.

Sorry guys, but I must be missing something.

As far as I know, the DVD for the satnav sits behind the pocket fascia in the top right of the glovebox so I am assuming that the door, and rear assembly has to be removed. DVD installed and then the glovebox reassembled.

I'm comfortable getting the pocket out, and have got the inner tray and door off but am a bit stuck with removing the rest of it.

I removed my pocket and fitter my nav unit in its place.

I thought that would be the case, but the pocket is narrower than the DVD so it looks like part of the right hand side of it gets covered up as shown in this image from legacygt
