Tor Hovland

Sorry about the delay. I'm sure Dustpuppy's method would work, but I couldn't get it to. I ended up buying the L shaped torx, which finally enabled me to get the glove box off. Unfortunately, I found no rubber grommet, and no way to route a cable out to the front. A large wire harness went off to ahead of the center console, but that was it. If anybody has installed a cable through the firewall in a Superb II, I'd be interested to know how.

I can't believe I'm having this much trouble with something so seemingly simple. I'm pushing the tab in, but the handle doesn't slide in any direction. I'm trying to force it with screwdrivers, but it is as if it is glued in place.

Has anybody managed to remove the glove box in a Superb II? It should be easy, but I just cannot figure out how to remove the handle, which I think is necessary in order to get to the fifth torx screw, as I am not able to fit a screwdriver or bit in there while the handle is blocking it. It looks to me as if I am supposed to push in the small hook underneath the handle, and then pull the handle out, but it just won't come off. Is there anything else that must be done? Do I even need to do this in order to remove the glove box? The reason I want to remove the glove box is to look for a rubber grommet behind it, which I can use to pull a cable out to the front of the car. I would like to install a 220V interior heater, drawing power from my garage. These things are rather handy during Scandinavian winters. This is the problematic handle: And this image shows the hook, and also the screw behind:

Lots of people having the AC always on here. Each to his own, but you will get better mileage by not running it unnecessarily. Also, AC compressors do wear out. I only switch on AC in hot weather when the blower alone cannot cool down enough (not very often around here), or when the windows are fogging up.

Hi! I believe the most useless feature must be that the AC turns on every time I switch between low and high auto fan speeds.
