If you are an Alfa 147 owner and need to access the internals of your glove compartment door, disassembling it might be necessary. It could be to fix a hinge, replace a latch, or any other reason. In this guide, we will walk you through the simple step-by-step process of disassembling the Alfa 147 glove compartment door.

What You’ll Need:

  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Flathead screwdriver

Step 1: Prepare for Disassembly

Before jumping into the disassembly process, make sure your car is parked in a safe and well-lit area. Open the glove compartment door and empty its contents to avoid any damage or loss during the procedure.

Step 2: Remove the Screws

Inside the glove compartment, there are typically two screws securing the door to the dashboard. Locate these screws on the inner side (near the hinges) of the glove compartment door. Using a phillips screwdriver, carefully unscrew and remove them.

Step 3: Detach the Latch Mechanism

Next, you need to detach the latch mechanism to completely free the glove compartment door. The latch is usually held in place with plastic clips. Insert a flathead screwdriver between the latch and the plastic clips to release it. Once released, rotate the latch and gently pull it out.

Step 4: Remove the Glove Compartment Door

Now that the screws and latch are removed, you can easily lift the glove compartment door away from the dashboard. Be mindful of any wiring or cables that might be connected to the door, and gently detach them if necessary.

Step 5: Inspect and Repair/Replace

With the glove compartment door disassembled, you can inspect the hinges, latch, or any other components that might require repair or replacement. This is also an opportunity to clean the door and its components before reassembling.

Step 6: Reassemble the Glove Compartment Door

Once any necessary repairs or replacements have been made, it’s time to reassemble the glove compartment door. Align the hinges properly and gently insert the door back into place. Reconnect any wiring or cables that were detached.

Step 7: Attach the Latch and Secure with Screws

Slide the latch mechanism back into its place and ensure it securely fits into the plastic clips. With the latch reattached, grab the screws you removed in Step 2 and use the phillips screwdriver to tighten them back in place.

Step 8: Test the Glove Compartment Door

After reassembly, close and open the glove compartment door to ensure it functions properly. Test the latch mechanism and hinges to guarantee smooth operation.

Disassembling the Alfa 147 glove compartment door might seem challenging, but by following these simple steps, you can conveniently access its internals for maintenance or repairs. Remember to be cautious throughout the process, ensuring a safe and successful disassembly. Now you can confidently tackle any glove compartment door-related issues you may encounter!
