Installation recommendations

This part is the interior mechanical part of the dashboard. The exact method of disassembly and reassembly may vary depending on the specific model of the car, but generally/typically the following procedure applies to replacing the glove box.

1) Before assembly

• Check whether the box shape, mounting, hinges, lock and front design match the old part.
• Compare the color version of FGW – DIGIMAT with the interior of the car.
• Check the condition of the used parts, especially cracks, deformations, wear of the handles and the correct function of opening and closing.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Set of common hand tools
• Screwdrivers or bits corresponding to the connections used
• Plastic crowbar for dismantling interior parts

• Container for delayed fasteners

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Switch off the vehicle and prepare your work area so as not to damage the surrounding parts of the dashboard.
2. Open the original box and check how it is attached to the dashboard structure.
3. Carefully remove the surrounding covers if they prevent access to the attachment points.
4. Remove the fasteners from the original box and keep the fasteners aside.
5. Remove the old box carefully so as not to damage the surrounding plastics, guide parts or latches.
6. Compare the old and new part side-by-side, especially the mounts, stops, hinges and front fit.
7. Clean the contact surfaces and the mounting area from dust and dirt.
8. Place the new box in place without using force and check that it fits correctly in the mounting points.
9. Reinstall the fasteners and tighten them gradually so that the part fits properly and does not warp.
10. If surrounding interior parts have been removed, put them back in the correct order.
11. Try a few cycles of opening and closing the mailbox and observe the smooth operation.
12. Check that the box fits correctly with the dashboard and does not rub anywhere.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Verify that the box opens and closes without resistance.
  • Check that the lock or latch is in the correct position.
  • Check that there is no excessive noise or play from the box area when driving.
  • After a short drive, recheck the seating and possible loosening of the fasteners.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Exchanging part design – always compare the codes, shape and attachment with the old part before assembly.
  • Damage to plastic handles – never release the part with brute force, use suitable interior tools.
  • Poor fit – first place the box on a clean surface and only then fix it.
  • Omission of function check – always test the entire opening and closing mechanism several times after assembly.
