This install isn't all that hard, mainly just time consuming...

First things first, you need to take apart your car, I didn't take pictures of that part of it, but you need to start from the door trim and work your way back, follow this tutorial *********.com

So from there, now you can get to the glove box itself.

When you purchase the glove box you need everything, there is a metal bracket that goes on the back of it, along with the box itself, and 4 bolts and 2 screws, the hidden panel thingy and the actual door itself.

I don't have pics of attaching the metal bracket but its self explanatory you put the bracket in the hole, attach with two bolts, then you put the glove box in the hole attach that to the bracket with two bolts, the screws are for the lock piece.

You need to have all the bolts from the metal panel that holds the sub (you should have this panel if you have the bose sub or not). This holds the glove box in place. You should have 3 bolts left over from this.

So once the glove box is in we get to the fun part, taken apart the door so you can make it work on the other side of the car.

First, you will have to remove the door at one point or another, its two pins on either side, you can just pull them out with needle nose plyers, to put them back just push them back once you've put the door on the other side.

Next you'll need to modify this panel slightly, just trip off a little of the clip area as shown in the next couple images and mount the spring rope thingy like so (You will need longer screws to accomplish this since its thicker with both piled on each other):





During this you'll have to split apart the door itself, if you remove the felt there are 5 screws hidden under the felt, take those out, and gently use a flat head to split the door apart, you can also remove the handle and lock mechanism at this time.

With the panel split apart drill a hole through the door so that the rope thing can go through, with the panel split you'll be able to see where to attach the rope, it will be held on with a little gloopy tape you can either reuse that or use some sort of adhesive to hold the tape there.

I somewhat disorganized with this swap thread so bare with me, haha.

Basically after all this put it back together.




If you have any questions lemme know, this took me a while cause I didn't know what the hell I was doing and I was afraid to break something, lol.

 

just a quick question, why is your car so dirty?

 

I have been in and out of it doing installs, it needs to be professionally detailed, lol. It was in the shop the last couple of weeks also, its had no rest.

 

Been busy is no excuse, keeping it clean/not eating drinking in car and wiping once in a while is the key sad to see dirty z's, dont want to be mean or anything..

 

Doesn't bother me at all, lmao. It's usually spic and span but haven't had time with it getting torn to pieces, being put back together and being torn to pieces again.

 

That is completely awesome! Great job getting wasted space back!

 

I've never seen this done before. looks cool but why 2 gloves? lol

 

It was dead space, I wanted to be able to have all my tools in the car, so I have my tool box on one side, along with first aid kit, my camera mount for the track, and flash light, and now on the other side I have my power drill all the bits, etc. Plus I keep a spare set of clothes in my car incase ish, so I can put that in there, works great! Its nice to have extra space and not have all my stuff just strewn about the car.

 

Good job, man. Looks great.
