    Default Anyone replaced their glove box cover?

    Mine has an unfortunate scratch - I have no idea how it got there.

    My options are to buy some paint and clearcoat and hope I don't make it worse (in general, I'm not very good with paint), or buy a part # 162 for about $100 and replace the cover. However, I can't tell how it's attached to the pivoting mechanism. Glue? Screws? Some one-way-one-time connectors?

    It can't be that hard, but I don't want to start prying until I know what to expect. I've looked online and can't find enough detail to tell.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm about to disect my Spyder and dig under my glove box to see if I can get the lid to latch. While I'm in there, I'll look for any tips I can pass on as far as replacing the lid. I'm learning as I go.

    A sticker, decal or paint an accent color with Plastidip, then if you don't like it, peel it off.

    You have to remove the glove box. Then it's held together with those push pin things. One you take it apart the lid will come out of the hinge.

    See my Tri-axis install video series for how to get the glove box out.

    The dealer replaced my wife's. It was mounted to the glove box lid with double sided tape. Here is a picture of the underside.
