there is a much easier fix for this - just add two additional screws left and right of the lock latch and the gap is gone - holds my glove box together since many years
Great video. Have you ever replaced the climate control power module under the OBC ? I can't get it out yet its as shaky as a bad tooth. Don't want to break it just swap it out. Thanks.
never seen e36 without saggy glovebox tho... fun fact one of the bmw dealers here has avus blau m tech 320i sedan with 1000 km at most and it still has saggy glove box lol
At 6:09 you state the cylinder has to be between locked unlocked to remove. I don't think this is correct and I'm genuinely curious where you got this information since I don't see it anywhere else online. I removed two cylinders this last weekend: one from my old vent panel and one from a junkyard one for which I did not have the key. The former I removed in the unlocked position. The latter, I picked and locked and removed in the locked position. In another video (ruclips.net/video/c6F6IQPOnok/видео.html) the cylinder seems to be removed in the unlocked position. The actual hard part of this task is spreading the tabs to enable the lock cylinder to come out. I used a flathead and twisted it then inserted a toothpick or sewing needle in between the plastic tab and the cylinder. I recommend wrapping the flathead in tape to avoid mangling the plastic.
interesting glad you found a step to skip. It was good to practice spreading the tabs on my original glove box in preparation for the keeper. Thanks for watching!
E36 is my favorite BMW chasis 👍🏻
I'm here with a 318i seeing these comments, shows me I'm still fighting the good fight 😂😂😂😂
if you don't have a sagging gloves box are you even driving e36 bro :D if your whole interior is squeaking you get extra street cred
Bro, the door cards are self-lightening
Mine fell off

The box is not fixed until you have a working light.
Great video.

Thanks.
I have not, check out my radio install video for something adjacent. I think the cubby isnt hard to pop out and you go from there.
I got it out. What a pain.
I tried 1k angles. It finally slipped out with no room to spare.
Intro is a bit long yeah but the video is darn good bro. Subscribing because you defs have potential. Keep it up.
Do you know the part numbers for the 3 screws at 1:45? I am missing some screws on mine.
sorry I do not, maybe check Realoem.com or find a parts car. Thanks for watching!
Cool. Nice video by the way.
How to fix the soft opening or how it should work?
Mine just drops open. I dont think its normal
I'm not sure yes there is a soft opening I think I greased the mechanism while I was in there. Worst case scenario just get a new salvage part

I've got 220k miles and no sag
This guy is funny 😂
does anyone know if the plastic piece that covers the airbag pops off? the one on my e36 has a dent in it

was it to keep the inserts in the tumbler from falling out?
You know the e36 is reliable if the glove box is falling apart

new friend have a great day
Mine fell off
Before or after your door cards 😂 😂
And it still sags 😫💀
I know. But slightly less!
Intro too long and unnatural! Be yourself you have lots of potential!
