How to repair the storage compartment drawer of the BMW X3 F25

Model: BMW X3 MK 2, F25 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Glove compartment

In this video, we will see how to repair the glove compartment of the BMW X3 F25. The issue of the compartment's lining peeling off is a common problem among many models of this type. We start by removing the three torx screws located at the bottom of the compartment. After removing these, there are two more screws inside, one on each side. There are also other screws around the compartment that need to be removed in order to slide the compartment out of its housing. Then, we need to disconnect the power cable for the courtesy light and the USB port. Once on the workbench, we need to remove the hinges and the swivel arm to separate the part to be glued, which is the front panel, from the actual compartment. For gluing, it is recommended to use Bostik or a strong adhesive, and most importantly, to hold it in a clamp with heavy boards for a sufficient amount of time to straighten it out.
