2022 STX missing glove box- swap for cover?

[Sneezy]

Having the door to the "napkin holder" as my salesman called it, I don't see any benefit over the open cubbie hole.

All numbers stamped on parts are engineering numbers that won't show up on dealer computer. You'll have to poke around online on parts diagrams to find the dash door parts.

I wasn’t able to find/don’t have access to any parts diagrams. I just want to be able to hide the clutter without leaving it as an empty void to satisfy my ocd ?

This guy on instagram has a few for sale. I've never bought anything from him but saw it in my feed.

Thanks for the link! I don’t have any social media accounts aside from in here and a YouTube subscription so I can’t view any of those items that get listed

I labeled this picture for my basic steps but here is the very simple write up from memory.

Remove the glove box
pull the radio surround
pull the silver long trim
unscrew all the visible screws
pull the air vent
pull the button blank
loosen the radio / AC area screws to make more room
pull the rubbery surround of the old glove box to help pull it out
wiggle the new one in
replace the screws
install the new button
reinstall everything

I am looking at doing the opposite. Im not a fan of the door. Would you consider selling me your open upper glove box?

Or if anyone wants to trade? Im in Eastern Ontario. The dealership couldnt find it and told me to comeback with a vin# of a truck without the door

Yes bottom glove box first.

the trim pieces are all held on by clips, so you use a trim removal tool.

There is a good youtube video here.

The video is correct for the smaller center console screen. However, if you have the larger one you need to do an additional step. Pop off the dash cover with the speaker and access two silver colored 7mm bolts behind the display. A quarter inch drive with extension works well. And something with a magnetic tip to retrieve the bolts would be good as well.
