Glove Box issues. (e60)

[Apex 693]

Hi all, my glove box handle has come loose and the glove box is now stuck shut

Has anyone else ever had this problem and if so how did you remedy it??

I have with previous cars removed it from the bottom but that seems quite difficult.

Thanks

If its anything like an E30 one it'll be the latch thats bung. There are heaps of writeups on the net that tell you how to remove the glove box and replace the latch. Maybe that could be a starting place?

No offense BUT - E30, E60 - Totally different beasts & about 20 yrs difference in technology -hardly likely to be anything like each other in regards to set up although agreed could well be the catch being the problem.

As Glenn was trying to encourage recently - no point in diagnosing problems by comparing apples with oranges.

Cheers. Unfortunately it is an 05 so too old for warranty.

Will give it another stab today, apparently BMW clove boxes are notoriously bad.

Its just a leaver so im sure the same BMW principle might apply!!
