I stripped my glovebox out back in September to change my leaking heater matrix. The problem is i've forgotten how the glove box cover fits back. It's listed on RealOem as number 14 'covering glove box'. Any help to jog my memory would be useful and can it be fitted without removing the glove box lid again?

Are you talking about the two plastic panels above and to the right of the glovebox?

If so then you can refit them with the lid in place. You need about 4 or 5 of these plastic lock fixxings

Put the right hand piece in place first (the slots the lock fixings go through are hard to see so I did it by feel) then the top piece.
