Glove Box, Fits Type 2 Bus 68 To 77

EMPI Durable Plastic Glove Box for VW Type 2 Bus (1968-1977)

Upgrade Your Interior Storage

The original stock glove boxes in vintage Volkswagens were constructed from pressed cardboard, which is prone to warping, sagging, and disintegrating over decades of use and moisture exposure. This EMPI replacement (Part #00-3584-B) is manufactured from high-quality, heavy-duty black plastic. It provides a permanent solution that maintains its structural integrity while protecting your vehicle registration, tools, and personal belongings.

Appletree Pro Tech Tips

Inspect Your Mounting Hardware: Before you begin removing the old, fragile cardboard unit, take a moment to inspect your original mounting screws and clips. These components are often rusted or brittle after 50 years of service. Replacing them during the install will ensure the new plastic box stays securely in place without rattles.

Test Latch Alignment Before Final Tightening: When sliding the new plastic glove box into the dashboard, do not torque the mounting screws down immediately. Test the operation of your glove box door and latch first. Because the plastic is more rigid than the original cardboard, you may need to slightly shift the box's position to ensure the door closes flush and latches smoothly.

Solve Moisture Issues Permanently: If your Bus has a slight leak in the windshield seal or the fresh air box, a cardboard glove box will eventually fail and grow mold. This plastic upgrade is completely impervious to water, making it a vital reliability upgrade for owners in humid or rainy climates.
