Removing Glovebox

Postby DaiTurbo » Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:07 pm

Will be fitting a new headunit soon, and will be running certain cables to the glovebox for ipod etc.

Have removed before the glovebox before but can't remember the screw locations, or what type of screwdriver is needed. Think it might be torx but not sure.

Anybody know of a picture of screw positions and type of driver plz..

I have mine apart at the mo i'll photo it tomorrow. Torx screws though. 6 in total. Trim from side has to come off as couple of screws behind there. Easy job though.

The bits have a tiny hole in the centre to allow for the ickle knob. You can get them in a set of about 8 different sizes for about £8.


Not required, common Torx.

2 min job. (If taken in sections, you can take most parts of the car apart in two mins... :? )

Yeah in an hour with only a torx bit you can have the car stripped into pieces small enough to fit through a letterbox.
Oh apart from the headight bulb which after 4hours of trying will still be attached to the holder :lol:
