⚠️ READ BEFORE ORDERING — FITMENT MATTERS

The safest way to buy this part: compare the shape, colour, lock arrangement, mounting layout and numbers on your existing glove box with the photographs here. If anything differs, ask us to verify compatibility through eBay before ordering. Where required, VIN-based verification should be carried out before purchase.

🔎 PART IDENTIFICATION

🚗 CORRECT VEHICLE TYPE — 5-DOOR VOLVO V40

Reference vehicle only — second-generation Volvo V40 five-door hatchback. CC0 reference image. This is not the donor vehicle and is not the item supplied.

Reference interior only — RHD Volvo V40 cabin showing the glove box position on the front passenger side. CC0 reference image.

📍 WHERE IS THIS PART FITTED?

The glove box is installed in the front passenger side of the dashboard. On this RHD application the steering wheel is on the right and the glove box is located in front of the left-side front passenger.

The assembly provides enclosed dashboard storage and incorporates the lid, hinges/mounting structure, latch/handle area and lock facility. Depending on vehicle specification, adjacent glove-box equipment such as lighting may also need to be transferred or reconnected.

✅ COMPATIBILITY / FITMENT CHART

🧰 WHEN MIGHT A GLOVE BOX NEED REPLACEMENT?

Replacement may be required where the original lid or housing has been cracked, broken or badly marked; the hinge structure has failed; the lid will not remain shut; the latch or handle area is damaged; the assembly rattles or sits out of alignment; or the lock assembly is damaged or no longer operates correctly.

A complete used manufacturer-branded assembly can also be preferable when repairing collision or dashboard damage because it preserves the original style, texture, mounting geometry and factory-type lock/latch arrangement.

⭐ WHY CHOOSE AN ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER-BRANDED USED PART?

Aftermarket alternatives can vary in mould quality, texture, colour, hardware and fit. Buying a correctly identified used original component can therefore make it easier to maintain the factory-style appearance of the cabin while avoiding the cost of purchasing the equivalent replacement new.

Potential saving: selected used components can represent savings of up to 70% against an equivalent new-part benchmark where a valid new comparison exists. Actual saving varies by component, condition, availability and current new-part pricing; a 70% saving is not claimed for every item.

🔧 FITTING INFORMATION

Planning sequence:

1. Verify the vehicle and replacement part before dismantling.
2. Protect the dashboard, centre-console and surrounding trim.
3. Follow the vehicle-specific workshop procedure for removal of any passenger-side trim and glove-box retaining fasteners.
4. Support the glove-box assembly as its final fixings are removed.
5. Disconnect any glove-box electrical connection only if equipped and only according to the vehicle procedure.
6. Compare old and replacement units side-by-side before installation.
7. Transfer the appropriate lock cylinder, trim or ancillary item where required.
8. Refit the compartment and surrounding trim in the correct sequence.
9. Check lid alignment, opening, closing, latch engagement and lock operation.
10. Confirm all disturbed electrical equipment operates correctly before completion.

Tools: non-marring trim protection/removal tools and the appropriate hand tools/Torx equipment specified by the VIN-specific workshop procedure. An exact Torx size is intentionally not stated here because it has not been verified from VIDA for this vehicle.

Manufacturer repair time: not published here because an exact Volvo flat-rate operation has not been VIN-verified. Please do not treat an internet estimate as a manufacturer labour time.

📦 STOCK • PACKING • DISPATCH

Used automotive components can be awkward shapes and may include fragile trims, tabs, electrical connectors or finished surfaces. Correct packing is therefore an important part of preparing a component for transport.
