Just followed this guide myself - works great. If you've still got the old lock stuck in the hole like I did then I found levering the latch out from the inside of the door was the best way to get it to snap and detach from the spring.
I had first tried a plastic replacement that broke just trying to fit it, so went for this metal version . The video is very helpful, but take a moment to see how the handle works. It swivels on the two circular pins, which have small location brackets (or lugs) on the inner side of the outer skin of the glove box lid. That is why it is necessary to push the handle up into these lugs and this is best done one at a time, as shown on the video, but is helpful know what you are trying to do. You can see these lugs from the inside of the glove box lid, better still with a torch. If you have difficulty locating the spring ends, these can be located by using two small screwdrivers, one to hold the spring in position and the other to then push it slightly up and then back into the handle recess. The springs then provide the tension for the handle to work. The metal handle looks good and has a very solid feel.
purchased one of these 2 days ago. Fits perfect ,fit it in 30 seconds after watching this excellent video. Well done X8R just saved me about £80 to £130 for a new glove box. You will need the spring though to keep the glovebox tight shut. Good as new.............
Thanks very much for this. The c4 I bought had the handle broken off and it was an easy and cheap fix. (Once I had to check which way the spring went on)
I have managed to change this but the new handle doesn't bounce back somehow😂😂 But it does keep the glove box shut so in the end not too bad... Thanks for this video👍👏
I’ve tried for hours on end and looked at several tutorials but it won’t install I’ve pushed with an extreme amount of force but it seems to just not work
Hi there, we have sold this product for many years and sold thousands of units with lots of customers saying they did not damage the plastic. Please email us on sales@x8r.co.uk and we can arrange for a replacement handle to be sent to you. Perhaps would be worthwhile asking a mechanic to fit it. - Georgina, X8R Ltd

I'm having a lot of difficulty popping this in, should i remove the entire glove box?
but do i need to take the door off as shown or can it be done with the door left on
It can normally be replaced in situ with the door left on.
I’ve tried for hours on end and looked at several tutorials but it won’t install I’ve pushed with an extreme amount of force but it seems to just not work
Double check the way the spring is fitted, this may be hindering the handle to be pushed in
Great gadget, although not an easy fit, I must say. All in all, will save you over £150, so can't complaint!
Awesome,your going to sell loads.
