The glovebox that you have is a much better product than what I have on hand.
Thanks, though as you’ve given me an idea on how to get the one I have to install a little easier!
No. If you look at the picture of it installed you can see a couple of the screws holding the top to the main body of the box and a couple holding the document tray on the bottom. There are staples in some areas but I didn't have to disturb them at all. They weren't exactly speed nuts but some...
That's the only copy I have from 1970. I think I have the original trailer tow brochure for 1965, but I'd be surprised if the dimensions, particularly the width, was the same.
Let me poke around the web and see if I can come up with a better copy of the '70 brochure.
I have come to the conclusion that probably the best idea is to get an Mopar extended warranty that covers the engine/drive train (and everything else) well into the 100,000 mile range, get the dealer to do the oil changes (they still have the best prices), drive it, and wait....
Over the years, it seems that many consumers are not aware of the extensive R&D activities the OEMs put products through BEFORE they hit the showrooms. I know, as well as they might test things, there will always be some customers who can tear up an anvil in a sandpile. Which is one reason...
So you removed the glue and/or fasteners and replaced them with the small screws and speed nuts, like these?
The glovebox that I ordered is one piece that uses speed nuts to mount it into the dash, but is stapled together.
Fortunately, the 3 main components (box, top, and document tray) were assembled with small screws and "speed nuts" type fasteners. So, I could unscrew them and screw them back together. That is, of course, after aligning them up (joy joy).
Good on you for catching the reference! No offense taken. And yes, while there is a dedicated politics section, this isn't it. That section was created to keep politics out of the rest of the site. It's hard to avoid the topic, but it's best to try. Kind of "Bar etiquette." Too easy to start...
In one respect, the rear part might not be that hard to do. Just figure out the strongest locations for the rear parts to attach to the body. Then figure out similar for the front crossbar to attach to the wheel house areas.
THEN the tricky parts would be to put the center piece down the...
Been away so late to the Party....
Let me put it this way .... If you alter the design, operation or intended use on a vehicle still under warranty FCA will use that as the club to beat you with and deny you warranty for any engine related issue. Hell if you can not produce proof you did oil...
