Your glove box sag was caused by removing the glovebox from the air vent panel and not getting the hooks properly aligned or breaking them when reinstalling. To prevent this, you should always remove the glove box and air vent panel AS A SINGLE UNIT.
This is not necessarily the case. I'm the original owner of a 98 M3/4 It came with the glovebox slightly sagging. I also owned a '93 E36 325i before that and it too had a slightly sagging glovebox from the factory. It was never perfect. The door also starts to delaminate with age and the weight of it also pulls the frame of the glovebox opening away a little bit over time
The glovebox on my 1999 e36 M3 was fuhhhhhked up, lol. When restoring the car, I ended up buying 3 different gloveboxes just to make one good one. I used this technique to make it perfect. It works but follow the directions to the letter.
before i tried this it would latch. after however it would just fall back down after pushing at any pressure. I tried backing out the screws a little which worked, but it would start to sag, and got a little touchy. considering buying a used assembly and switching out the lock.
Not sure. High chance the new one will do it too... they don’t make these anymore. So most likely the new box will have the issue. You could try to find one at a junk yard... but chances are taking it all apart in the process will break some clips
its odd anything changes if you just drill and screw what already in place an causing a problem. You demonstrate that down pressure is required to close the gap, then just drill and screw anyway. Its hard to understand how that changes anything
Tony Montana Countersink? Notice in the video I say not to do that because there isn’t enough material. You risk burning through it! Risky move. If you want to try it, be my guest. But I’d rather be safe and teach others to be safe rather than having people be upset they just blew a hole through their dash.
@@MasteringHow-To Excellent info. Maybe paint the screws in sort of the same color as the glove box. I have a black one, easier for me to camouflage. Great vid anyway!
I take the time to make this video to help people. You’re screwing into your dash. I want to make sure you take your time so you don’t make a mistake. Instead of appreciating it. You gotta comment something like that?

How do you know that? My glovebox has never been removed and sags due to age.
This is the correct answer
@@TranceFur Have you never changed the cabin filter (behind the globebox) in the last twenty years?
@@eighties1744 I have, but it was sagging well before I replaced the filter. No sag anymore, though.

Fixed mine. No more sag, no more rattle! Thanks for the video, man.
Man so simple to fix never thought about. Thank you so much
THANK YOU
Quick and clean Explanation! Thank you!
is that a pioneer avh3300nex in the dashboard? if so are you able to release a tutorial on that?
Got the same headunit in my 36 what do u need to know bro?
Great fix, thanks! What cable accessory do you have coming from your glove box flashlight?
Thanks so much. Can you look into the comments. You’ll see I gave the link. I’m on my phone so I can’t cut and copy it.
Thank you bro

You can find them on eBay now
1/8” diameter rivets would make a cleaner repair.
Good thinking!
tfw someone explains a fart you didn't hear xd
Worked amazing thank you

tries this and used flat-top screws, and put the clips in place. only issue now is that it doesn't latch. any suggestions?
Hmm. Wish I could see what was going on. I’m not sure. Maybe back the screws out a little? See if that helps? Let me know
Push hard on the door. Will it close when you do that? And did it seal before?

Awesome! Works great for me, finally don’t have to look at the eyesore of a bodged glovebox 👍
Anch'io ho questo problema ora lo faccio cosi vediamo se lo risalvo grazie per il video ,,,
Will getting a new glovebox work?
Not sure. High chance the new one will do it too... they don’t make these anymore. So most likely the new box will have the issue. You could try to find one at a junk yard... but chances are taking it all apart in the process will break some clips
General HowTo already got one at the junkyard thanks for replying 👍 i got super lucky this thing is in great condition
Love this
Okay but now i have 2 screws in my glovebox
Did you watch the video? I don’t understand. Did you not think you would have two screws? Either use rivets or paint them to match.

You should chamfer the hole so the screw head is flush with the surface. It will look alot less of a hack job otherwise good job.

@@MasteringHow-To I must have missed that part. I agree then, if it's too thin then avoid the chamfer. Cheers.

Thank you!!!
Pushing on the front of mine doesn't fix the sag. :(
Why'd you fart😂
OMG this is disgusting
That looks like shit
Watch this in 1.5x speed. Trust me
