Does anyone have pictures of how the glovebox straps mount to the dash? My friend's e34 glovebox straps aren't mounted to anything so it sags all the way when open. I can't figure out where the straps mount to.

Already tried, the diagram isn't detailed enough. I've even tried ordering parts listed on realoem, but none of them seem to work/fit. E34N 03-13-2008, 04:41 PM IIRC, there's a tab to put some small plastic retainer thru.. see #17.. goes thru I believe #21 http://bmwfans.info/original/images/6216_p.png (http://bmwfans.info/original/E34/Lim/535i-M30/USA/L/M/1990/10/mg-51/) roberttran 03-13-2008, 04:47 PM IIRC, there's a tab to put some small plastic retainer thru.. see #17.. goes thru I believe #21 http://bmwfans.info/original/images/6216_p.png (http://bmwfans.info/original/E34/Lim/535i-M30/USA/L/M/1990/10/mg-51/) Yeah, I ordered those parts and #21 is a thin flimsy plastic/foam washer like part. No way it can hold the weight of the glovebox. #17 seems to work, but not sure where/what it holds the strap to.

Upper or lower? Lower goes to the pin that the "shock" is seen mounted to in the above diagram... held on there by a clip. Too dark to take pictures of the upper at the moment, sorry. uk525td 03-14-2008, 05:50 AM oo there should be a damper on the glove box? oo bet get one from the scrap yard next visit attack eagle 03-14-2008, 03:07 PM no. not unless you have an e32... but the mounting point on the box is the same slocar 03-14-2008, 03:52 PM no. not unless you have an e32... but the mounting point on the box is the same why does the e32 have a shock and we don't? attack eagle 03-14-2008, 04:09 PM because it is a higher end luxury car! slocar 03-14-2008, 04:10 PM I know that silly, but I meant more along the lines of: what does it do? attack eagle 03-14-2008, 04:16 PM keeps the box from slamming open when you pull the latch and it is laden with items. IF they fit on an e34 I sure wouldn't mind having one since i have my changer in the g-box. |
