Re: open the passenger side lid(holding manual, et (archive)

Hey Phil,
My glove box also used to feel like it was caught on something everytime I opened it.After close inspection,I noticed that one of the two latch like thingy(on the inside of the glovebox) is not retracted fully anytime the lever is pulled.I opened up the assembly and found that the plastic lever is broken.Mixed up the good 'ol epoxy glue and cut out a thin piece of metal to shape and glued everything back in place.(the thin piece of metal to give added strength to the already vulnerable piece of plastic)Has been working like a charm since ( been 3 months).

: Are you saying your glove box is stuck? This came up not too long ago, I've posted a link below. I've actually been searching the archives for this problem myself, since although my glove box opens, it seems to be caught on something, and doesn't open all the way very easily. I still haven't figured it out.

: : Hi-
: : Just bought a 535i. After reading its manual I put it back and closed the lid. Then it refused to be opened again. I tried to lock and unlock it using the master key, but it just didn't work. I noticed that though the lid is closed, it upper right corner is not in proper position.

: : Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
