Default Has anyone removed their glovebox/secret compartme

and if so how the "F" do you get it back on....im having a horrible time getting the secret compartment to line up properly...i mean i could put the screws back in but it would align the way its supposed to in the little cubby holes in the secret comparment. I was running my ipod wires through (probably should not have) and now im stuck. Did anyone else have problems or tips???

Would be much appreciated.

TIA

You may find the little plastic part on the back of the glove box is not lining up with the hole. I just cut it flat.

Im not to sure if thats it...imagine your looking down on the secret comparment, and you have those two cubby holes, well that middle divider is not popping back into place, as well as the the other ridge (where the handle would be is the box was closed)....its almost as it i have to pull the whole panel towards me to get it to pop into place....i didnt remove the whole panel, just the front of it so i could run the wires behind the glovebox.....im wondering if i have to remove the whole glove box piece to get it to pop back into place.....i know i know this probably isnt making sense...

I know what you mean. You have to flex it a little. try holding one hand down by the plug and one hand on the top where the small tray is. Pull out on the bottom while pushing down on the top.

well i did it...although i had to take the whole damn car apart to get it to fit properly...to take the glove compartment completely apart meant i had to take apart that space behind the rollbars, and then part of the trunk, seats, centerconsole, head unit.....geez


thankfully it all fit like a glove when i put it back together....this silly little ipod project took me five hours to complete.....oh well, looks good tho


and now i know how to take apart an s2000, thanks for your help
