Other Remove glovebox without removing centre dash?

Brungle · 8th May 2012, 20:23

Trying to install bogs video input box and was wondering if it's possible to remove the glove box without taking the gear surround section out? It took me a while when I was installing my dension and I'd love to avoid it if possible.

I've tried giving it some force but can't get it out, I'm sure I read on here someone else had managed it!

Cheers

Not sure it's possible, as I tried a good while back, trying to get to the back of the SatNav unit to connect my reverse camera harness. It will twist out so far, then gets stuck at the centre console end. No idea why you want it out, but if it's for connecting the above, you can just about do it in situ, if your nimble fingered.

Just do it the tried and tested way (centre console out) - its quite easy and you shouldn't break any clips if you're careful.

Unless someone else knows otherwise?

Thanks, it's not just for the video in cable, I need it out so I can solder Bogs Video switcher box (it needs a satnav wire cutting and soldering to his box)
Looks like I'll go down the proper route then

you can but you break the right hand side its not worth it for the xtra ten mins to remove the center
