Access to underneath the glove comparment

Post by mas123 » Fri Aug 05, 2011 7:22 pm

Hi,

I have X5 2003, underneath the glove compartment is a light and I wanted to access to area behind the light. There are two plastic nobs which look like they can be turned, but when I try they do not turn.

Does anyone know how I can get access to area behind the glove compartment?

Take the glove box out - all the screws around the edges or use a flat-head screwdriver and you should be able to prise the bulb holders perspex piece out.
