How to Repair the Glove Compartment of an Audi A3 8P

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

In this video, you will see how to repair the glove compartment of an Audi A3 8P. In this case, there is significant damage as the plastic hinge has broken in half, making repair kits found on Amazon ineffective. You will need to completely disassemble the drawer and remove it from its housing to find the cause of the drawer's failure, which is the internal piston that no longer slides as it should. Remove it, and to reduce the force of the piston, the YouTuber tries making small holes in the cover, but it doesn't work. Then, he disassembles the piston and decides to make small cuts around the internal seal, and this time the result is satisfactory. Refit the piston, and then you can re-glue the hinge, which will now hold securely.
