Good luck! Out of interest, do you have the "pouches at the front of each of the front seats" that EZDriver mentioned?

 

yes I do. "Excuse me passenger while I reach between your thighs to grab my iPhone cable"

 

LOL, I did not know that was allowed. Usually I just ask for them to get it for me. Next time I shall help myself

 

Tim, any update on it? I'm still searching for glovebox fitting my colour code and budget

 

FireCrow:
There really is no mystery. if you want to install the glovebox, you will need to cut out about half of one side of the airbag mount.

 

It would be nice to get a photo of an x300 with a glovebox (removed) to see how the airbag mount was redesigned.

Cutting is no problem if I can keep the airbag mount well supported. I better find the welding blankets.

(BTW, no progress yet. Too many other projects, and it's just too d@mn cold in the garage)
