Glove box lid hinges. Gone. 850 1995

Well, not the hinges, but the plastic bosses they screw into in the dash. My lid has been loose at the hinges and latch.

Pulling the glove box liner and lid, I found the four torx screws and clips just hanging on to what was left of the vinyl covering. The mounts had long since disintegrated. The broken pieces are AWOL.

Anyone conjure up a fix for this? Not much material left to work with. Between this and the broken dash mounts I might be looking for a serviceable dash at U-Pull-it.

    You could probably rebuild it, but there are so many 850s in the pick&pull and it might be better just to pull the entire dash panel and glovebox. The lock can be traded with the one from your car.

    As for driving the car with out the dash top, it can be done. The SRS light will go off, but you have a 1995, so you can turn the light off when you are finished with the replacement.

    At the pick&pull, keep all of the screws, etc, along with the plastic strip between the dash and windshield. Don't worry about the passenger side SRS cover, it can be glued down on the edges.

    Read the online write ups carefully, that way you know which tools are needed. The steering wheel does not need to come off!
