I've got the vinyl trim glued in place on the glove box lid and every thing is ready to be installed. I have some metal strapping (exhaust hanger straping?) in place to hold the box once it's installed (car didn't come w/it). In test fitting the box, however, the door keeps hitting it somewhere and thus the door can't open all the way OR the box sits too far down into the footwell. It seems that the right door spring mount is striking the top of the box but since I can't shrink down to 1" and witness the obstruction from inside the dash I'm just taking an educated guess (I'm beginning to run out of those Educated Guess cards I got from college...gonna have to order some more).
Any tricks to mounting the box and door? Oh, my glove box lock does work. That's the only good news with the box. |

There were two holes in the forward fire wall and two holes at the base of the opening of the glove box door. Looks like the box was supported by two straps, running from the forward firewall, under the box, and to the glove box. I looked at the box itself and noticed an impression on the lower sides of it, looking like a strap went parallel to the box back/bottom. Peering into the glove box door area I saw a sloted tab of metal and on the opposite side I saw a threaded stud *ping!* I instantly knew how the box was supposed to be installed and then SirAndy confirmed it.
The exhaust strapping is a PERFECT fit and I'm in the process now of fitting/installing. Thanks SirAndy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) [edit]The forward firewall holes look like they were drilled. Prolly PO work[/edit] |
