S3 glove box lid missing bits

PostPost by: badback » Tue Apr 28, 2009 9:17 pm

Started to fit the dash to my S3 FHC but I am missing the glove box catch, the glove box lid has a pull down handle but no lock I think the lock was only fitted to DH cars.
The bits I don?t have are the catch that hold the lid closed.
Looking at the parts manual this seems like a clasp that fixes to the top of the glove box and a die cast pin fixed to the lid.
Also looks like a length of flex! Holding the lid in the open position.
Does this makes sense to any one. Photos would be helpful so I can start looking for the right bits.
