Installation Recommendations
- Prepare: Park vehicle on a level surface, remove contents of glovebox and open it fully.
- Remove Fasteners: Unscrew visible screws and carefully disengage retaining clips—use plastic trim tools to avoid panel damage.
- Detach Hinge/Latch: Support the lid, release hinge pins or clips and unhook the latch mechanism if required. Transfer any latch components or trim inserts from the old lid to the new one if they do not come pre-fitted.
- Fit New Lid: Align hinge pins and clips, engage the latch and ensure the lid closes flush with surrounding trim. Refit screws and tighten securely but avoid over-torquing to prevent cracking plastic.
- Test: Open and close several times to confirm smooth operation and correct alignment. Inspect surrounding trim for gaps or interference.
Most Common Failure Causes
- Plastic Hinge Or Clip Breakage: Repeated use, forceful opening or cold brittleness commonly causes clips and hinges to snap.
- Impact Or Load Damage: Heavy objects inside the glovebox or accidental impacts can crack the lid or deform attachment points.
- Age And Environmental Stress: UV exposure and temperature cycles can make plastic parts brittle over many years.
- Latch Wear Or Misalignment: Worn latch components or misaligned hinges prevent secure closure and may necessitate lid replacement.
Practical Advice
- When replacing the lid, inspect hinge pins, clips and the latch striker—replace any worn or broken components to ensure longevity.
- Use OEM or high-quality replacement fasteners; cheap clips often fail prematurely.
- If interior colour matching is critical, verify the HZD/Black Mistral finish under good light before ordering.
