[GusDaDog]

I have a 73 Super Beetle, curved windshield.....I want to remove my glove
box so I can modify it to hold my stereo deck until I get one of the
fiberglass ones....but reguardless...how do I remove the dang thing? I've
looked it over, just I must just be missing something....

Open the trunk & remove the cover for the dash area. You'll see...

I see a metal "firewall" is a badly made access window and a plastic
glovebox inside that..... same question, how do I remove that plastic glove
box?

You can't remove the glovebox of this beetle from the trunk, for the
curved
window super beetle you have to remove it from inside the car.

To remove the curved windshield super beetle glovebox, you'll have to
remove the
glovebox door (2 bolts on either side, near the hinges). After that
undo the
screws on the brim of the glovebox opening, don't exactly know anymore
where they were..

Maybe this picture will help:

After the screws are remove, you can pull the glovebox towards you.
Oh, and you will have
to loossen the cable for the unlocking of the front bonnet. The cable
is attached to the
glovebox, and you have to remove the glovebox with the entire cable.
The cable goes through
a hole in the metal behind the glovebox.

Hummm... I guess with all the VW's I've worked on over the past 30 years (&
there had to have been hundreds), I've never worked on a *curved
windshield* SB!!! Unbelievable!
