New Beetle Glovebox Repair

thingiverse

These Things are repair sections for the screw attachment areas of the glovebox for a 1998-2003 Volkswagen 9C New Beetle. These have been designed for a RHD car, but I'm assuming the parts can be mirrored for LHD. These parts are to cover or replace the original attachment screw holes on the glovebox assembly. Generally, just trim off small portion off the original glovebox and/or the printed part to get correct fit and hole alignment. You may need to test fit on the car before you perminently attached the parts in place. The bottom trim is made of two parts (only because of the bed size of my printer). This is a cover strip, which just fits straight over the bottom lip of the glove unit. providing new screw mounting points in similar location the original (you may need longer screws). No cutting or welding required to fit this part. Print the parts in ABS with 100% infill (solid) for best results. I used a hot staple plastic welder to attach the parts, this provides a strong tensile joint, quickly and the welder is pretty cheap (I got my for 20 bucks off ebay with enough staples to do the job). **Glovebox handle repair to be published soon**
