Installation recommendations
Generally/typically for the glove box lid in the dashboard, the exact fit may vary depending on the interior design. Consider the procedure below as a practical universal guide – always compare with the old part and proceed in such a way as not to damage the plastics and surrounding parts.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the new lid with the old piece: identical shape, attachment, stops, hinges/axes and any holes for lock elements.
- Check the condition of the plastic (cracks, broken lugs, deformations) and functional parts (hinges, stop, possible closing).
- Verify part code 8226J0 and HZD- – BLACK MISTRAL color to match your requirement.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Set of screwdrivers or bits (according to the used connecting material)
- Plastic pry bar for panel removal (to minimize damage)
- Flashlight
- Plastic cleaner + cloth (for contact surfaces)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Prepare your work space in the interior so that you have convenient access to the storage box.
- Open the storage box and check how the lid is attached (typically hinges, studs, or caps).
- If there are caps in place, remove them with a plastic crowbar (do not press the metal into the visible plastics).
- Unfasten the lid (screws/pins/hinges depending on the design) and carefully remove the lid.
- Check the counters on the dashboard (hinge/pin placement, bearing surfaces, stops) – damaged mounting can cause crooked bearing and play.
- Clean the contact surfaces and the attachment area from dust and dirt.
- Put the used lid into the holder first “dirty” and check that it moves freely without binding.
- Final fit into the hinges/pins and secure the lid in the original way (screws/locks/caps).
- Open and close the lid several times; monitor alignment, seating and possible rubbing against surrounding plastics.
- If the lid does not fit evenly, recheck the correct seating in the holder and the condition of the stops.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and functional test verification
- Check that it opens/closes smoothly and that the lid fits correctly all the way around.
- Check that there is no excessive play anywhere and that the part does not move.
- When driving, listen for any creaking noises from the dashboard area – they are usually a sign of bad seating or damaged mounts.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Prying with a metal tool → use a plastic pry bar to avoid damaging visible parts.
- Incorrect insertion into hinges/pins → first a “dirty” test, then final securing.
- Leaving dirt in the seating surfaces → clean before assembly, otherwise the lid may sit crookedly and creak.
- Ignoring damaged counters → if the fasteners on the dashboard are broken, replacing the cover alone will not solve the problem.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Mechanical stress during frequent opening/closing (fatigue cracks in plastic, play in hinges).
- Reckless handling (sudden “slamming”, leaning on the knee, loading the lid with objects).
- Broken handles during unprofessional disassembly of on-board plastics or prying without proper tools.
- Aging of material and embrittlement of plastics due to temperature changes and UV radiation.
