I've got a couple of little scratches on my glove box and also on the plastic trim just before the scuff plates. How do you get rid of them

Interior Vinyl spray paint would help if you managed to flatten the scratches out a bit. I'm currently looking into getting a match made up on some vinyl paint for our interiors.

Probably be easier to get another glove box mate, looking at the damage?

If you rub them down you end up with an uneven finish and if you do spray it, the uneven bit will stand out a mile, unless you do the whole item? but then it won't match the rest of the interior Wink

If I get a new glove box, how easy are they to swap over and will I still be able to use my key to swap

Glove boxes are a piece of pish to remove. Its just two little bits of plastic you need to push out.

Not sure about the lock though as I've not looked that close. Probably just an unscrew job tho?
