    glove box liner

    OK, I give up, what's the secret to putting in a new glove box liner in a '65?  Does it go in from the front on the back or do I need to cut it into little pieces and tape together after I get it in the hole?  It supposedly is for a '64-66 car.  Thanks  Jerry

    I believe I did it from underneath, it is tight, but doable.  It the box the cardboard type, you should be able to squeeze it enough w/o damage.

    I seem to remember that the cardboard had creases in the sides that let you fold the sides inward.  Then you can slip it into the hole from the front, expand it by unfolding it and install the screws to hold it in place.

    Also, IIRC, it helps to remove the glove box door.

    Thanks for the info, but I must be doing something wrong.  The liner has some creases on the sides of the box that run up and down, but on the end flaps where the screws go, the crease runs front to back and when I try to push in the box at the creases, it tends to break the ends since they aren't creased the same way.  This is a real "Mickey Mouse" engineered piece.  I have the glove box door off too.

    Don't feel like the Lone Ranger John!!....I destroyed TWO of those liners and never did one that looked/worked worth a poop with out mass quanities of duct tape. 
    Good Luck.....it CAN be done (cause I've seen it!) its just over my head I guess.

    Thanks everyone for the input.  I guess I will grab the duct tape and go to it.  Jerry

    If the duct tape is black it can hide a lot of sins.

    Re: glove box liner

    The folding is supposed to work but due to the materials used now (read: really cheap) it tends to break them.  I have tried numerous methods but the only way to get it in there in pristine shape is to remove the heater box.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Re: glove box liner

    Try a little moisture at the creases.  The one I installed five years ago (Drake) worked fine from the front and the new Drake I have looks like it will too.  My five year old one has been in and out a number of times...from the front.

    Re: glove box liner

    after learning that the liner was supposed to be installed before the heater assy. is installed or that it can be installed by taking off the 11 clips on the heater box and removing the front half of the heater box, I said to myself "sefl there has to be a better way".  I wasn't about to remove the front of the heater box since I had already sealed the box up, so I went a different way.  I cut the liner in half, top to bottom and got a piece of black foam board from Walmart and cut some pices to seal the liner back up when I got it installed in the dash.  I made up some patterns off the back and sides of the liner before I cut it in half.  I then used contact cement on the patterns against the liner after I got it positioned in the dash, it worked great.  A little patience to get the two halves lined up and it is hard to tell it was cut in half.  Here are some pictures.

    Just installed one with my new interior from the front with the glove box door on.You have to fold the creases on the side and push it in.

    I did that.  The creases on the ends run front to back, but the end tabs where the screws go  don't have a crease and they wanted to break when I tried to fold it in, so I did it my way.  Thanks
