Glovebox Rubber Bumpers
« on: October 15, 2016, 21:32:41 »
Does anyone know the part # for the little black rubber bumpers inside the glovebox?

If anyone has them, please let me know

It just so happens my glovebox is sitting on my workbench.  I will see if I can post a picture later today.

I purchased the bumpers in the link to Authentic Classics and they were too thick when installed. My glove box would close but could not be locked.

Tony--thank you for your response.  Quick question:  although your glove box doesn't lock, is there any gaps?

I had to remove them and use the original ones I had. The glove box would not stay closed and the chrome piece along the top of the box did not line up with the other dash chrome piece because of the large gap. I would purchase the MB part number. The sls part might not work because it looks like it is for the speaker.

I just fitted some MB ones last week. They were available, cheap (relatively.....) and did the job perfectly.

I'm on holiday but as I recall the picture in EPC is pretty clear.
If it can wait 10 days I'm happy to confirm it then.
