Thinking of installing a Paper Shredder in the Glove Box.

I put the DS door aux crud tray from my first T3 into the PS door of the second and never had any trouble with opening the glove box with the door closed--because the glove box wan't there. In the beginning it was just for the passenger to have more leg room and a foot rest. The stowage came in '87 when the entire dash--ALL of the tin gone--was replaced with a teak beauty. Splinters? If the passenger hits the dash, or the dash hits the passenger hard enough to dent the tin and require that padding, then splinters are going to be the least of his/her problems. We know every time we get into our beloved magic carpets, that we are part of the crumple zone and yet we still keep doing it...........and loving it.

the carpenter with the wooden lid could easily pull a mold from it

then somebody can clean it up a bit and make a vinyl covered foam lid - no wood splinters and easy to mass produce

Or a fella could just get one of these, whack out the top of the dash and just toss it on with some hinges. Really nice syncro here (except for the still installed dreaded glove box). Check out the clean carpet and seat upholstery.

Finally, I am not the only one to have done this, I guess the holes are in there because before the trim is put on, they are reversible, they could have put a warning in there, like, shtop ! dumbass, that's not going to work on this side.

That's past my bedtime

Did you leave the map pocket in place, mine is there, it's in burning, so only me in there, we had a map pocket in lucy, it must have been further back, that broke due to wife trying to get EVERYTHING !!!!! in there, not replaced as she'd only try and put EVERYTHING !!!!! in there again.

Yep, still there. #879 on Things to Do.

Gotta think positively -- only #821 on Things to Redo.

I think a glovebox organizer of 2 or 3 compartments is good - ala Obryan, I’ll look into that. Six compartments is too many cubbies, too many variables to be faced with. Maybe good for a full-timer, or hardcore traveler.

I have not assessed my glovebox contents in many years. That feller who didn’t have the strings/catch and his box dumps onto the floor had the opportunity to purge. Like many things in life its the right thing at the wrong time. I’d shovel it all back in, while muttering.

I want another map pocket and my driver side is broken. Heres a map pocket thread. Good tips about collision-also if the door is slammed closed with the glovebox sitting open.
