So I have to replace my glove box handle on my 996 and it sounds like it should be possible without taking out the whole box.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I have to replace my glove box handle on my 996 and it sounds like it should be possible without taking out the whole box. I've read Lorens DIY on renntech where he describes removing a bunch of screws from the felt, and the backing falls away to make the handle easily accessible. The problem I have is I can't get at the back 2 screws. I think the step I'm missing is to somehow disengage the glove box door from its plastic support struts. They are plastic, and I can't see the inside of the mechanism. I don't want to put too much force in the wrong direction and break them. What is the correct movement to disengage the plastic support struts on the glovebox?? Thanks - sorry this is probably something super simple.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I got impatient and just pulled harder. There is a small hook on the plastic strut that hooks onto an eye on the felt liner of the glove box. You just unhook it by pulling the plastic strut back toward you. Maybe this will help someone else. The screws are easy to get to after that.
