glove box

[mandarin]

Hi

Can any one tell me how to replace glove box? I think the previous owner must have forced it to open when jammed. I'm getting a used one from junk yard but don't know where to start. Thanks

Hi,

You guessed correctly. It's a 98Passat 1.8T. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Its quite straight forward. I assume you are getting the whole unit, not just the door. There are security screws all the way round, some are only visible when the glove box door is open. Once you have removed these, it basically slides out.

Forgot to add above, be careful to remove the lens of the courtesy lamp before you pull the glove box all the way out. And watch out for those small parts!

Hi

Thanks. Will give it a go this weekend. By the way, my boot light isn't working. How do you get the lens out to replace the bulb or is there anything else I should look at. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
