2wheelterry Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I've heard that the storage bin on the 1150 can be swapped with one from the 1100 to gain more storage area. I've looked at the fiche and see some different part numbers for the "oddments tray" (1100) and the "upper and bottom part of the radio partition" (1150 and 1100). I can't tell from the exploded view if they are truely different or worth the effort and cost. Any opinions? Link to comment
4wheeldog Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 3 years ago, the dealer told me the "Glove box" cost about $125 dollars. Compared to "Free", I just didn't see the advantage. Good Luck! Link to comment
AndyS Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hi 2wheelterry, Good to have you around. I posted the same query not very long ago. Some very vague answers. I went and made a direct comparison between the 1100 and the 1150 and cant see any obvious differences. Shame really, as there is quite a lot of space not used under the plastic. Bye AndyS Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I did the switch 4 years ago. The opening is wider and I believe there was a bit more volume. The pain was in switching the sealing rubber. If your careful, it is a good switch. Believe the part is quite a bit less than that at chibmw. Have fun. Link to comment
VladtheImpaler Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Check this guys auctions, I saw a glove box there a while back for $75. http://stores.ebay.com/DEEP-6-AUCTIONS_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm Link to comment
2wheelterry Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 Just to close this out... I bought a different upper portion of the glovebox to get a wider opening. It looks like it fits as well as the old, but with a bigger mouth. Its PN 65142306602, expidited from Germany for a total cost of $12.47. Link to comment
2wheelterry Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 It doesn't mate to the seal on the bottom of the glove box lid. Back to the old style. Link to comment
USAF1 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 So.....get a new seal for that box. Pat Link to comment
2wheelterry Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 If I am reading the Fiche right, the new seal is $45. I'll pass. But thanks for the prompting. The other/current seal is only $14. Link to comment
