Nope, this is strictly for the glove box door.

You need to remove it yourself, and even swap out the handle and lock mechanism, as it is keyed to your car specifically.

I took the whole glovebox off the car when I replaced it, and the hardest part was to get the pins that the door pivots on out without doing too much damage. As long as you are careful, its an easy swap.

Audi Oakville quoted me $319.93 + taxes for a new glovebox door. But after inspection they said that they could install a reinforced hinge and repair the piston for $178.50 + taxes, which I agreed to.

I have had this happen on both my A4's. Seems to be a design flaw.

Tell them you don't want a refund, you just want to return your Audi to them, and handover the ownership for wanting to put Duct Tape on an Audi to fix it, even if it is temporary! :roll: :)

To commiserate, my hinge went also.

Same $2.00 bracket fix, except I added a chain restricter to take the weight when the box lid is open.

We should do a poll and see how many have had the same problem.

I love my Audi, but the accessories are not too robust.
Like my broken glove box hinge, cup holder, business card holder box, centre arm rest hinge, rear arm rest latch.

Hoe you do the fix OK!

:cheers:

my glove box hinge broke today too ;(((((((

on top of that...u mention most things that are also broken in my car LOL

1. glove box hinge
2. front cup holder
3. centre arm rest hinges
4. and i don't know why my driver speakers stopped working ?????

this is ridiculous...i looked online...the whole glove box kit is $279 on ebay...i don't even wanna know how much it is at the dealer...

As I said previously, how many of us have had the same problem?
