Glove box hinge
« on: January 30, 2024, 21:45:31 »
I lost my glove box hinge, does anybody know (a used) one in Europe?
EDIT: I don't search anymore because I am provided.

Bob, you're right. Initial try with post office shipping was $48 in a small box which is entirely too high. Eric suggested shipping in an envelope and I will check back with post office and see if we can get the shipping cost down. In the meantime, if anyone closer to Eric has a hinge, or if anyone in US knows a more cost effective way to ship, please weigh in.  Lee

It's only a piano hinge, if you have no luck getting an original, perhaps try and find a new hinge if someone can give you the correct dimensions

Yes that will be the next step when I have no luck getting an original one.

Lee will send his hinge, so I will be provided with an original hinge.
I appreciate such selfless and kind help on this forum.
Thank you Leester!  :)
