Hello!
I recently became the proud owner of an '02 Bora which is now my pride and joy :D A friend who is already on the forums recommended I joined, so here I am and here's my first post, hopefully it'll be useful to someone..!
When I got the Bora there were a few small problems, one of which was the glovebox, the plastic rivets which support the white plastic wheels (see photo) had snapped so it simply wouldn't stay together. I'm told this is a problem on some VWs but I was also told how expensive it would be to fix, especially having a less common grey interior in the car, so decided to try fix it myself.
It was quite a simple job to do and unfortunately I only have photos of the fixed mechanism. Repairing the pins however was a simple matter of seperating the inner and outer parts or the glovebox door, screwing two stubby self tapping woodscrews into the remains of the plastic rivet and using an epoxy resin to glue the front and back together again. I had use some tape to hold the two parts together whilst the glue set and propped it shut for better contact but it worked!
If anyone also wants to try this, I'd recommend taking the white part to the place you get the screws from, it's useful having it to hand in the shop to ensure that the screw head will be big enough to hold it in place :)
