Technical Information
Fitment and Replacement
Typical replacement procedure for a glovebox lid on a Peugeot 407:
- Open the glovebox and empty its contents.
- Support the glovebox door and release any side stoppers or dampers (if fitted) — these are usually held by clips or screws accessible from the glovebox opening.
- Remove fasteners securing the lid to the hinge (screws or plastic retaining clips). Retain any reusable screws; replace broken clips with new ones.
- Detach the old lid from the hinge and fit the new lid, ensuring the latch engagement and hinge pins align correctly.
- Refit dampers/stoppers and test opening/closing action; adjust alignment if necessary to avoid binding.
Installation Recommendations
- Use trim removal tools to avoid damaging surrounding panels and retainers.
- Replace any worn or broken plastic clips and hinge pins during installation for a secure fit.
- Check the latch striker and catch for wear; clean contact areas before assembly for smooth operation.
- Do not overtighten screws — plastic components can crack. Hand-tighten and secure snugly.
Why This Part Most Often Fails
Glovebox lids commonly fail due to broken hinges or plastic retaining clips from repeated use, accidental impacts, or excessive force (e.g., slamming). Long-term exposure to UV and temperature cycles can make interior plastics brittle and more prone to cracking. Cosmetic wear and scratches are also frequent reasons for replacement when restoring interior appearance.
This part is a straightforward, cost-effective repair to restore function and appearance of the glove compartment in Peugeot 407 models. Search by part number 8226J0 for quick identification.
