Glove box door replacment?

[timjmcconnell at gmail.com (Timbo)]

There's two pairs of screws at the hinges - it's easiest to undo the
ones on the door - and the hinges stay with the door.

The prop up thing is a different story though  - on my cars - the prop
just pulled out the side of the door and you are done, but that might
be that mine were broken. You'll just have to see how it's put
together.

If you can't get the arm out, then you will just have to take the
glovebox out. there's 4 screws at the top and 4 at the bottom, two of
those being the latch.

The prop thing is heald up by a nice round spring, and it's mind
boggling to get it back in there right, so try to remember how it
goes, or better yet - don't mess with it.

The black thing on the left of the glove box is a cover to access the
screws. That cover also happens to be the exact size of the two big
holes in the radiator support - they make nifty covers!!
