Function And Fitment
The glove box lid covers the passenger storage compartment, provides the latch mechanism and hinge attachment, and contributes to the look and sound insulation of the dashboard. This lid is intended for Peugeot 206 models. Fitment is based on original mounting points, so replacement is typically straightforward without modification.
How To Replace (Basic Guide)
- Empty The Glove Box: Remove all contents and any removable liners.
- Remove Fasteners: Unscrew or unclip retaining screws and plastic clips along the glove box frame and hinge (use appropriate screwdrivers or trim tools to avoid damage).
- Detach The Lid: Carefully lower the glove box door to access hinge pins/clips and disconnect the hinge from the box.
- Transfer Hardware: If required, transfer latch assemblies or dampers from the old lid to the new one, or fit the new unit with supplied components.
- Fit The New Lid: Align hinge points, engage clips/pins and secure all fasteners. Check latch alignment and closing action; adjust if needed.
- Final Check: Ensure smooth opening/closing, no rattles, and that the lid sits flush with the surrounding trim.
Recommended Installation
- Use Plastic Trim Tools: Protect surrounding trim and avoid breaking retaining clips.
- Handle Clips With Care: Plastic hinges and clips are brittle with age — replace damaged clips rather than forcing them.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: A light silicone spray or white lithium grease on the latch pivot improves operation and reduces noise.
- Inspect Associated Parts: Check the glove box catch, hinges and surrounding trim for wear and replace as necessary to ensure proper fitment.
Most Common Failure Causes
- Plastic Clip And Hinge Wear: Repeated use and age make clips and hinge mounts brittle, causing the lid to sag or detach.
- Latch Breakage: The plastic latch mechanism can crack from impact or fatigue, preventing secure closure.
- Fabric Wear Or Staining: Upholstery surface may fade, stain or delaminate from sun exposure and daily use.
- Moisture Damage: Prolonged moisture exposure can deteriorate internal foam or attachments and cause odors or rot in older materials.
