348 Glove box lid strut

Please do sign up. I would be interested in one.

 

I got one these brilliant little inventions from Bosshog8 and it works perfectly.
So simple and so smart, I will never have to replace the stupid little glove box strut again.
Thank you Demetrius!

Interesting. I remember when I bought my 348TB back in 1996. I looked at about 8 different cars before choosing and I noticed that NONE of the glove-compartments would stay open (they all just flopped back down so it was difficult to get anything out of it while driving with one hand - you had to snake your hand in and keep the lid up with your wrist in the process.

Finally I ordered a new one which I recently fitted because I just wanted to - at least once - see one that worked. (Ordered together with some engine bay ones which also need replacing every few years - although one gets used to holding the engine cover up with one's head when checking the oil level, etc.).

I was a little disappointed that the new one, although quite stiff, didn't work at all - the lid just flopped down as usual. But it may be that I put it in upside down (considering some specific advice here) so will flip it around when I get the chance (the 348 is at the garage for the big service at the moment otherwise would have tried it immediately).

Maybe I will yet live to see a working lid after all ?!!?
