Hole In Glove Box

[Mike5483]

In my glove box, ive just noticed I have a hole. its at the back on the right hand 'wall'. It looks like it should have a cover over it, but if thats the case, its missing.

 

Im currently putting in my MP3 lead, thats how I noticed it.

 

What im thinking of doing is buying a bulkhead female 3mm jackplug and drilling a small hole somewhere in the glovebox and fiking the bulkhead jack plug to this, so that its not flapping about in the glove box.

 

Do you think theyre are any warrenty isues with drilling a small hole (possibly 5mm or 6mm) inside the side/back of the glove box

In principle drilling the hole isnt the problem i would be more interested in whats on the other side of the hole your drilling.

[Mike5483]

Well this is it. I wouldnt drill a hole unless I knew it was absolutely clear on the back side.

 

I need about a 30mm gap for the bulkhead jackplug ive bought anyway so the hole would have to be drilled in a clear spot.

 

I might locate it somewhere else, maybe that little cubby hole down by the drivers right leg, you can get to the back of that easy.

 

Its a bit awkward because the MP3 player ive got is the new sony one (NWA3000) and is quite big, so there is nowhere really to put it and there is not (as yet) a dash mounting bracket for it.

You're not talking about the air vent in the glove box to keep your drinks and choccy cool in the hot weather?

 

Do you get a breeze through it when you air circulation fan is on?

I thought that was at the top???

 

There is a vent in the top which I can open and close.

 

There is a hole in the RHS 'wall' at the back of the glove box at the top (the bottom of the hole doesnt far sit off the 'shelf').

Had my dash i bits i dont think there is much on the right hand side behind the plastic will have another check but when you take the headunit out you will get a good view of whats behind it and where you can drill.

[dave&trace]

it is were the aux connectors go on the nav drive versions on other versions it should have a cover on it

[Mike5483]

Oh so it should have a cover. Mine is missing then. Not particularly fussed, just never noticed it before.

 

Thanks for clearing that up everyone.

 

Got the car booked in for next saturday to have it all switched on. Heres hoping all goes ok!!!
