Stop lever Glove compartment
Volvo 700, 900
24.11.2021Note on replacing the occasionally broken stop levers of the glove compartment lid on the 700 and 900 series Volvos.
Remove the glove compartment to replace the levers.
The upper screws are hidden behind the small caps shown in the picture. Now only lever off the caps and first unscrew the lower fastening nuts.
The lower screws are located at the front end of the footwell. The lower dashboard paneling is part of the glove compartment. Therefore remove this paneling before.
Not remove the upper screws and pull out the glove compartment a little.
Unlock and unplug the connector for the illumination. After that you can completely pull out the glove compartment.
Unlock the stop lever retaining tab in the lid. It is always on the right side of both levers.
A small precision mechanic slotted screwdriver is ideal for this.
The stop lever can now be removed with the stop buffer towards the back of the glove box.
The new stop lever is now pushed in the same way upside down with the stop buffer and locked into the lid.
The rest of the assembly is done in reverse order.
The retaining clips of the footwell panel (Skandix 1029595) and its holder (Skandix 1020886) must also be replaced if necessary.
