[T3] Glovebox

[Dave Hall]

Easiest to install the unit you've just got. Not hard to remove the remains.
ISTR the glovebox is held in there by the cable mount assembly - it doesn't
just hang.   

If something isn't good about the cable or nylon outer, be prepared to swap
them over, or get replacement nylon tube.  No need otherwise.

Just in case there's a problem with latch adjustment, remove the spare wheel
and the well, so you have a chance of releasing the latch from below.

The seller went to the trouble of sending you a complete glove box/cable and
you are gonna screw it up to do it the 'easy' way?
