Re: Need a Glove Box door
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.

Re: Need a Glove Box door
Hey PwrDriftr!
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!
