How to Replace the Glove Compartment in an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Glove compartment

To replace the glove compartment in the Audi A3, detach the panel on the side of the dashboard, which can be accessed by opening the passenger door. Once the panel is removed, unscrew the screws located immediately above and below the glove compartment on its outer part. Then, unscrew the side screws from the area previously covered by the panel and those inside the glove compartment. This will allow you to completely slide out the unit inside and remove the glove compartment entirely.
