Adhesive bonding of the storage compartment lining of the BMW X3 MK3

Model: BMW X3 MK 3, G01 - Years 2017-2024
Part: Glove compartment

If the outer covering of the storage compartment drawer of the BMW X3 has come off, let's try to fix it with a DIY intervention. Remove the lower panel, unscrew the screw at the base of the drawer, disconnect the electrical connector and place the drawer on a work surface. Remove the cover by sliding the pins at its base, take a tube of two-component glue, put a small amount on a base and mix it, spread it on the edge of the cover, join the detached covering and hold it in place with clamps for the drying time of the glue. Once the successful outcome has been verified, reassemble the drawer.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
