Yea from a touran
And no pictures
But basically anything the old glovebox thing that' was attached to has to be cut out
Along top bottom and side
Plus
The side close to radio to made an L shape bracket that
Kept the top piece stable
Then the door side the is a rubber spring type thing that removes by unscrewing then it
Got a long screw that screwed to the plastic just by the metal bracket

Then at the bottom I chopped a piece of plastic from the bit cut of so u can use that to make that bottom piece stable then the right hand side there's already a metal bracket that I bent a little to bolt that piece to
Also the metal bracket closest to door has to be cut and ground down to allow clearance for the hinge
I still have to wire in my glove box light so when I take it all out will take some pictures and put in the touran glove box how to section

Looks great. Was somethign I thought of doing before I started to use mine, but I've found I've got into the bad habit of just chucking receipts into the standard 'bucket'.

Started on the sound deadening today with barn doors, sliding door and near side panel done. Finger tips now a bit peaky after the heat gun...

Installed my facelift rear light units. Used the barndoor version for my tailgate van.

No plastic welding or anything along thoose lines. Just change some wires around, et voila, it's working. Image

Yes, but imo it's worth it.
