1966 Coronet Glovebox Liner: 2-part, Repops MO101, Review & Install

[LSS&B]

First off, despite the directions in the factory shop manual, you do not have to remove the glovebox hinges or door to install this glovebox liner

Glovebox kit came in two parts, upper and lower, with five screws and no directions. I used 4 screws that were spares from my screw box to assemble the upper and lower halves of the glovebox liner on the bench.



I had taken the dash shell loose from the windshield frame mounts to install a Dash pad.

I installed the glovebox liner from the firewall side of the dash shell. You might be able to leave it in 2 pieces, insert them through the glovebox door opening in the dash shell, and assemble them behind the dash shell.

Glovebox liner install: seven screws total. I used the 4 of 5 screws that came with the kit, one on each side and two at the top. I used matching spare screws from my screw box for the three lower screws. I used a pair of scissors to trim the upper left corner of the glovebox liner so it would fit. Other than that I didn’t do any trim work.

Install the two side screws first. Then the three lower screws. Then the two upper screws. It helped to have an awl to line up the glovebox liner screw holes/metal clips with the holes in the mounting flange behind the glovebox door. The liner installs outside the flange on all 4 sides. On the vertical sides, it installs to the inside of the hinges. It helped to be able to use a large screwdriver to press down the upper mounting area of the glovebox liner so that I could get the screw holes lined up. My wife helped in this instance.
Upper screws

Lower (shiny screws to outside are for hinge mounts. 3 black screws install lower edge of liner)


I can say that the glovebox liner fit, although installing it was not easy.


If I was to do another 66 Coronet dash, I would buy this glovebox liner again. As I understand it from reading other threads, the 67 Coronet glovebox door is the same, so I would guess that install is the same for 1967 Coronet. Just by the looks, I think this liner would also install the same in 1966 through 1967 Plymouth satellite.
It's $19.99 at Jegs. Link below. Hope this helps somebody!

Plymouth liner is different if you want it to be correct, but the Coronet liner will fit. Both are 2 piece units. I didn't even know removal/installation was in the service manual, but taking the old ragged one out showed me the installation. True no glovebox door removal and my dash was fully in place because glass never came out of the car.

It's in chapter 23 Body & Frame, Interior Trim and Seats section.

The old glovebox liner was completely gone in my car. Would have helped even to see pieces of it. Probably somebody working on HVAC, destroy and get our of way attitude.

That's great, you got it in and that was the intention. Once you figure out how the two pieces go together on the bench and what is the top and the bottom, take it apart and install the top, but have the lower part loose inside the dash. Once the top is secured, then assemble the bottom to it. My car was AC also, so that's probably how it got destroyed.
