replace glove box on 66 mustang

Hello,

I have a new glove box i need to get in and am wondering how to insert
it. i have gotten under the dash and see the space is way too small to
slide it under.
is there a site that has replacemet instructions or has someone out
there done one and can steer me in the right direction?

thanks much and happy motoring!

Mine was an original replacement, folded cardboard. Just remove the retainer
screws, fold it up, and pull it straight out the front. I can't remember if I had to
remove the dorr or not, but I don't think so.

thanks boB.
there wasn't a glove box in there so the removal isn't a biggie, it's
just figuring out how to get the new one in. i took a look at the
replacement after reading your post and the new insert doesn't look
like it will fold down and allow me to push it in through the glove box
door.

thanks Spike.

great tip on the websites. they have lots of great info on there. i
looked for the article you mentioned and they must have pulled it
already as it's not on either site under the tech articles links.
i appreciate the effort!

just fold the glove box along the score lines. If the oil board does not
have score lines. Return it you got the wrong one. the sides fold in first
then the top and bottom collapse toward each other and the whole think
slides right into place.

thanks Walt!

if it doest fold, i put mine in on 65 from under the dash. Have to
move wires, etc., but it goes, not a big job
