Glove box spring help please

Hi just in the process of of buying a new glove box lid from a member on here found out it should have a spring of some sort to keep the glove box lid up .mines always just fallen down .issue is how do I get to it does the interior of the glove box come out as it looks like its separate from the dash and how do I replace the spring ? Regards Dean

Remove the left hand Vent.
Pull the vent all the way up, and slightly out.
Insert a flat blade screwdriver behind the upper edge being careful not to break it.  Push the two finger catches at the top.



Once you have it removed, if you peer in to it you can see the spring.


Using a Flat blade force the lower spring arm out of the keeper.





To remove or replace the spring you have to hold it at 90 degrees and wiggle it out of the arm



Once you have the spring loose from the keeper you can remove the 4 screws that hold the hinges and remove it.


 

Yes I have a LHD so yours would be in reverse.

No, I forgot that the Glove box on the dash doesn't come out…
It is heat welded to the Dash.


The spring has been know to break the lower retainer, and can fly off… I have found them in the knee-bar trough and other places… You can drill a hole in the Glove Box, and use a screw, and a nut on the other side to hold the spring in position.

Hi briano I've done it mate .pulled of the left vent as you said and the spring was still attached at the bottom just reconnected it at the top job done cheers mate .I didn't touch the internals of the glove box as I had no need to

Glad to be of service.

I'm glad you asked how to fix the spring as my glovebox has been broken for 20 years, I've got used to trapping my hand in there while feeling for things…

I might give it a go to see if I can fix mine.

You are a legend Briano1234, so glad you are on this forum.  

Made me laugh that mark1 mines the same grab something out then remove your hand quickly before it gets trapped haha .
