Should my 79 mk1 have a glovebox lid?
My car does not have a glovebox lid, it's a 1979 1.1. It has holes which look like they would accept hinges for a door and there is a hole to accept the lock.
Should it have a golvebox lid?
Pics
I bought a glovebox to suit a series 1 but it's completely different.
Thanks,
Neil.

If its a base model golf some didn't come with a glovebox just the cubby hole
A friend of mine on here (yeahpj) owned a base model that didn't have a glovebox
but i dont recall seeing the hinge holes or catch holes as yours has.

I just need to find the correct lid for it, the one I bought is not right as you can see in the pics. The hinges are in a different location.

Drilling holes is a non starter. You can see in the pics of my dash that it has locating holes for hinges, it also has the recessed section for the lock clip.

I'm pretty sure it shouldn't have a glove box as your dash seems to continue
underneath the cubby hole where as if you had a glovebox and removed it there is obvious mounting holes.
Had quite a few S1's and currently own an early golf and as far as i know there is only one type of S1 glovebox some hard plastic some vinyl on the early models, brown/black
I have both types and they mount exactly the same,hinge in the same place as the one you have bought.
