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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The handle to the glove box on my 02 cab has snapped - I got a new one, but I'm not sure how to get the back of the glove box door off. There are a number of what look like plastic rivets or screw covers visible, but gentle prying doesn't seem to loosen them. I'm guessing that "all" I need to do is get these off and I'll be able to get to the back of the old handle, then it's just a matter of undoing two screws. Does anyone have access to a manual, or have done this already? Is removing the "rivets" the right approach, and I'm just not applying enough force, or is there some other approach.... Many Thanks, Graham

POST 3Original post

best way is to remove the glove box, it could be done without they are t15 torx screws and you will also need to remove the shocks to fold the cover down far enough

POST 4Original post

Graham - Here is a diagram of the Glove Box from the PET. Hopefully, this will help.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you! Could you let me know the description of item 9 please - the scan cuts off just above the description. I need to know if it's a rivet or a screw. The heads are covered with the "fur" the rest of the glovebox is covered with, so I can't tell without scraping it off... Again, many thanks for your help!

POST 6Original post

as i stated before #9 is a t15 torx screw you dont need to scrape off the fur

POST 7Original post

Graham - the PET states that # 9 is a tapping screw 3, 5 X 11 (2002) tapping screw 3, 5 X 12 (2003 - 2004)
