Glovebox removal

qwen3579 · 08-06-2023, 12:37 PM

Does anyone have instructions or video link on how to remove the glovebox? I have a 2020 530e that has a broken damper. I ordered a replacement and am having trouble removing the glovebox.

Thanks in advance.

I replaced the damper in mine without any removal other than the instrument panel end trim. It can be done with some patience and long tools, and small hands help.

I used this yt video as a sort of guide. It's not exactly the same, but gives you a good idea of how to do it.
