Title: Facelift Glovebox
Post by: Lesopc on 28 July 2010, 18:51:31
How do you remove and refit the glovebox on a facelift miggy?
Also need to mention that my lock barrel seems to be missing all of it pins/parts??? Can i get a new locking barrel to work with my key or do i just have to leave it as it is (unlocked)?

Great, but this does not answer my question on the barrel pins and springs?

Unlikely to get glovebox lock barrel to match existing key. If you`re that concerned about having it locked I`ve got a key blade with matched lock.

I've probably locked my glove box in my car a hand full of times ever. However I can't see it being difficult to match a few of the 'new' lock tumblers to your existing key. IIRC on one car I played with the glovebox on, it only used a few tumblers compared with the ignition & door locks anyway.  ;)

Personally I can`t see the need to have the box locked........each to his own though

Its not hard to do just really fidly to do.
