Change just the trim strip on glovebox?

Unread post by Stekelly »

Got my wood effect trim bits for the dash to compliment my nice leather and door cards , I have the main panel fitted and have a full glovebox with the wood effect bit. Does anyone know if its possible to take the wood panel off and swap it to my glovebox or wil I have to swap the whole lot (or at least the door). If I've to swap out the door at the veyr least, do I need the original key to take out the lock barrel if I want to put my own in?

Cheers

This is extremely not easy!

The glovebox is plastic welded together AFTER the trim strip is fitted. Dirty buggers, doing this to shaft anyone post-production.

If you can wait a day or two, I promise a "how to" on the trim strip swap. However it does require drilling of six precisely located holes in the glovebox inner. There is no other way.
