How to Remove the Glove Box of a Magotan?

The method to remove the glove box of a Magotan is: 1. Start by prying out the decorative border of the center console from below the ashtray; 2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry off the decorative panel at the right end of the dashboard; 3. Remove the two screws below the CD player and the two screws at the right end of the dashboard, then remove the decorative panel; 4. Remove the screws at the top and bottom of the glove box and then take out the glove box. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. The Magotan is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW at 5000-6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I previously disassembled the glove box of my Magotan myself, and the operation wasn't too complicated. First, open the glove box door—there's a fixed clip or screw on each side inside. Make sure to identify which design it is; most Magotan models use a clip structure. Gently press the clip with your hand or a small tool to release it, but if you see screws, simply unscrew them with a Phillips screwdriver. Then, pay attention to the damper rod or support arm connected to the bottom of the glove box. Avoid pulling it forcefully; it's best to use your fingers to press the release mechanism first to detach it. Be careful not to let items inside the glove box fall out or damage the plastic edges during removal. For example, I did this to replace the cabin air filter, and it took me less than fifteen minutes. Reinstalling is just as simple—reverse the steps and snap it back into place. If you're unsure, you can look up video tutorials online. Prepare your tools beforehand to make the process smoother.

I've taken apart the glove box of a Magotan before, and it was quite fun. After opening the glove box door, you'll notice small mechanisms on both sides—possibly clips or screws. I used a regular screwdriver from my toolbox; if it's a screw, just twist it off; if it's a clip, a simple push with your finger will release it. Then, be careful not to break the support arm—just gently push it to unhook. The whole process takes no more than ten minutes, and the speed is due to the glove box's user-friendly design. After disassembling, I cleaned out the dust inside and put some spare tools in there. The first time I did it, I was a bit nervous, but after a few tries, it became super easy. Remember to turn off the engine and disconnect the power before starting for safety. Don't forget to take a photo to remember the positions—it makes reassembly less prone to mistakes.

Removing the Magotan glove box is simple: Open it and inspect the internal fixing points. Most are either clips or screws, so find the right tool and work slowly. Press the clips by hand to loosen them; unscrew the screws with a screwdriver. Be cautious of the damper connected at the bottom—push it gently to release before pulling out the box. I've done this many times, whether to replace the filter or clear out debris. The steps are quick, but move gently and don’t rush. When reassembling, just ensure the clips align properly.
