Audi A3 - Video tutorial

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to repair the storage compartment of an Audi A3 8P

In this video we can see how to repair the glove compartment of an Audi A3 8P: in this case it is a serious damage because the plastic hinge is broken in half, so the repair kits found on Amazon are useless. We will have to completely disassemble the drawer and remove it from its housing and find the culprit of the drawer breakage which is the internal piston that no longer slides as it should. We disassemble it and to decrease the force of the piston the youtuber tries making small holes on the cover, but it doesn't work; so he removes the piston and decides to make small cuts all around the internal gasket, and this time the result is satisfactory. He reassembles the piston and then can glue back the hinge which will now surely hold.
