Description

Just like a lot of other cars from the 90's the E36 BMW 3-series had a poorly designed glove box mechanism. For now I have just measured and copied the original design to print spare parts. I changed the design of the retainer to hold down the main latch arm for better release action. The retainer works well but I will need to work on the latch arm a bit more.
