850 Glove Compartment

[martin53]

A pretty basic request but the hinges on the glove compartment of my 1995 850 are coming loose. How do i get to the screws to tighten them?

Thanks

Welcome to MVS,

In order to get to the screws you need to remove the glove box itself. There are T-25 torx screws that hold it in, remove those screws. You also need to release the arms which is done by inserting a small screwdriver into the holes next to the points where they mount to the door.

Once the arms are released the glove box itself will come out, it takes a little bit of effort to get it passed the latch brace.

At that point the hinge screws are right there.

Check the database for Glove Box latch repairs, there are several, and much of this shown with pictures.
