Glove box liner install

[dcw88]

I got a 69 satellite with ax and I just bought a new glove box liner as there was one when I got the car.

How do you install one of these does any one know

I slid it in the opening.To the passenger side 1st Take your time because it is a PITA. You have to remove the glove box door.

You place it in the opening and screw it into the holes.

Use a torch to expand the opening, or maybe an air chisel.

Ok, a ten pound sledge hammer. It works for linkage adjustment, oh boy.

Never done one in a car....I install them from the back side before glove box goes on when doing my complete dashes. You may be able to remove the glove box door and then slip it through the opening from the front. Not sure...but worth a try. By the way the clips shown in your photo along bottom of opening do not belong there. The clips are on the liner and the screw passes through the open holes.

It looks like your fuse box is in the wrong position. It should be lying flat, with the fuses facing down so you can access them from below. Once you sort that, you can slide the new box into the opening, GENTLY working it into position. You should remove the door first. It is a pain, as mentioned above, but not impossible. Once it's in place, you can slip the hinges for the door into place and start installing the screws through the pre-drilled holes.

This was the case on 68 B bodies. 69 & 70 B body the fuses are accessed thru glove box as photos above show.

Looking back at the pictures, I see what you are saying. I thought they were all flat, like in my 68.

It's not that difficult. Take your time and be patient. Squeeze the ends to collapse and reduce its size. Important: slide one end in first and swivel the other end in after that. Yes, remove the door and latch first.

Look closely at this picture, which is correct. The "slide it in and screw it in" advice is not entirely accurate or complete. The left, right, and upper edges must be positioned OUTSIDE the metal frame perimeter.

Here's how mine looks in my '70 Charger:

Come to think of it, mine might not be entirely correct either, I placed the bottom edge of the glovebox cardboard above the lower metal frame, but with the hinge screwed on top, it works. What doesn't work is trying to get it to press in on the inside of the outer metal frame and bolting it in. It will need to be stretched and pinched and possibly damaged. I followed other advice to put a notch in mine at the lower left corner, but this probably wouldn't have been needed if I knew that most of the cardboard box must be positioned outside the metal frame perimeter, not inside.

I put it in like this, carefully compressing the liner a bit, it's still a pain.
Don't know if all dashes are like this, but with my dash, the opening for the liner was taller on the left side vs the right, so that's where I put it through.

 

[Coelacanth]

I did mine the same way. Press it in on the right narrow side, then tuck that edge in behind the metal frame, and press in the top of the cardboard in behind the metal frame, and then the left side. So the metal tabs with screw holes are visible and the cardboard edges behind them.
