Glove Box Damper

[Ricko]

Just noticed that my glove box damper is broken………It’s been like it since I bought the car so I thought the way the glove box opened and just dropped down was normal……….Obviously not……..

Just wondering if any forum members have replaced / or fixed the damper.

is it actually broken? mines come apart a couple of times when its been knocked, it can be pushed back together, unless its actually broken?

Well I’m not so sure now………….I’ve got the damper out and split it apart…….I thought that there would be a rubber seal of some sort to provide a dampening action but there’s nothing like that inside…….The extending leg just loosely slides in and out of the damper assembly…..Definitely no damping action…..

I can’t believe that this is right so I’m going to order and fit a new one…
