- In this video we will be replacing a broken glove box latch. These are no longer available in colors, so your stuck with a polished silver finish. This will be wrapped in carbon fiber and the existing lock will be transferred. This process should be applicable for all MK5 Volkswagens.
Part number 1K1857147D3Q7
Oh the great genius German engineering at work again. Never seems to disappoint. Why keep it simple smh! Thank for the video kind sir!
I did it! I only dropped the screw inside once (before I super-glued it to the bit). Easily got it out with my magnetized bit. Just took a bit of patience. It was helpful to know which way the latch fitted in, and which Torx bit to buy.
Very well-explained and attention-to-detail video. I couldn’t find a magnet from a flat screwdriver so I had to order a 3x10 mm Neodymium Cylinder thin craft magnet, which cost me £3.20. The overall cost for me here is £34(approx) to replace it. Once again many thanks for your video.
Huge thanks for posting this!! Your excellent description and video really helped me out with this repair. I didn't have a small enough magnet for the hole but I was able to magnetize my torx for the removal and then opted to minimally tape the screw to the torx for the replacement. The hardest part was directing the screw back in. Your tip on the key in the lock for the lock replacement was perfect! Thanks again!!!
Very helpful! Found your video when I dropped the screw and didn't know what to do. Great ideas!
my glove box handle was broken and I could not open the glove box now, do you have any idea that I can open it up?
So helpful! Especially the magnet part! Thank you!

Muy buen video, gracias por compartir
neat trick, thanks!
Save yourself some time and put a magnet by the screw BEFORE fully unscrewing it. That way, it doesn't fall into the hole - you just pull it out with the magnet straight away.
You can't really sit the allen key and a magnet through the opening, its either one or the other
@@2phast magnetic Allen head tool does the trick
Nice idea, unfortunately I don't have one nor are any of my existing ones able to be magnetized
where can I get one to buy ?
Had to order mine from the VW dealer, couldn't find any used, they all came with a glove box door and even used, was more expensive than just buying a new handle.
Please witch number of torx key ?
One of the first things I mentioned in the beginning of the video, T20.
@@2phast thank you so mutch bro
