Glove Box in the 986

Hey Guys,

I've seen some photos of the interiors of the 986 where there's a glove box in the dash on the passenger side. All I have is the compartment in the center console which holds no more than a pair of sunglasses. What year did they start putting in the glove box? It's gotta be 2003 or 2004. Is it possible to install them in an earlier model or is there a problem with the airbag being there? I've never seen these for sale anywhere.


Thanks

I have been wondering the same thing ... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe even a Porsche Part No.? Either that, or has anyone used a glove box from a salvage yard (as far as finding one for a reasonable price)?

Thanks!

And was standard. It was not available before that and was never an option.

The only way to add one is to replace the dashboard with one from a later model Boxster or Carrera.

Well, that's one way to add a glove box, but it's not the only way...
