Hi, 

 

I've managed to break the handle on the driver side glove box beside the steering wheel on my octavia. 

Is there anywhere I can get a new one? 

Apart from rigging it myself it's constantly open now! 

Hi! You can easy remove the box as far as you order a new one in a skoda dealership.

A few on ebay. All used, but say in good condition.

 

Open it slightly and pull up, wiggle and pull, wiggle and push, to remove (takes a little too and fro)

To put back on, have it facing almost downwards so the latches line up easily and then slowly close it over the stopper as it's ramped in that direction to help.

Easy.

Hi

 

This just happened to me also... 

 

I had it open and based it by accident with my knee, so now the side towards the steering wheel is loose, and I can't get it back in, I do not think anything broke.

Any chance someone with the skills would make a movie where the remove it and put it back in?

 

Thanks and have a nice weekend.
