How to Install a BMW Glove Box Handle


1. Open up the glove compartment and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the three screws that fix the compartment in place.
2. Unhook the light wiring with your hands and pull the glove compartment away from the dash. Move the compartment to a clear work space.
3. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the bottom clip off the hydraulic arm of the compartment. Remove the three screws underneath the hinge and lift the lid from the glove compartment.
4. Slide the damaged handle away from the glove compartment and insert a new one. Place the lid back on the glove compartment and secure it in place with the mounting screws.
5. Reverse steps 1 through 3 in order to reattach the glove compartment to the dash of your BMW.
