How to Remove the Glove Compartment of a Volkswagen Magotan?
2 Answers
To remove the glove compartment of a Volkswagen Magotan, follow these steps: There are three screws beneath the glove compartment. Unscrew these three screws, then open the glove compartment to find five additional screws inside. Remove each of these screws one by one to take out the glove compartment. Taking the 2018 Volkswagen Magotan as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4866mm, width 1832mm, height 1464mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm, a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, and a curb weight of 1440kg. The 2018 Volkswagen Magotan features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Removing the glove box is actually quite simple. I've replaced the cabin air filter myself several times. First, empty all items from the box, then simultaneously press the plastic clips on both sides of the compartment inward with both hands. Be careful not to use excessive force – gently feel for the clips releasing and let the box naturally sag downward. At this point, you'll see a slender damper rod connected to the box; carefully pry it off the ball socket, and the entire glove box can be completely removed. After removal, you can clean out any fallen leaves or dust inside or replace the filter. To reinstall, just reverse the steps, making sure to align everything properly before pushing the clips back into place, then test the opening and closing to ensure smooth operation. The whole process requires no tools, but patience is key – avoid using brute force.
