Thankyou what a mission

That could've been a lot worse without your video. Cheers mate

Why do they make it so complicated?

Thanks so much for this. As others have said, the manual is no help at all. At least now I understand what's needed in order to remove the glovebox.

Thanks for this. A real life saver as I'd never have got there without your video

Perfect. Just the video needed.

Thank you, this is very helpful. The Skoda handbook is useless in describing how to do this. It would have been impossible without your help. I would add 2 things. A head torch and some blue tack. The latter is used to hold the soft close arm in place as you re-insert he glovebox. Otherwise is falls out of its housing requiring removal of the glovebox and starting again. I did that 3 times until I had the blutack idea. Once in place and the hinge clipped in you can then re engage the soft close arm and remove the blue tack.

Thanks for this, I needed to check a fuse. I found it easier to fit the damper before fitting the door to the hinges.

I'm just about to embark on this undoubtedly frustrating journey to replace the 12v fuse in my Skoda. Thank you for this video, it gives me hope

I would never have figured that out on my own - made the process so easy - thanks a million !

Did this this morning and I didn't even realise the glovebox should be dampened as whoever has worked on it in the past has not put the dampener bar back when they've finished - and I can understand why! Thanks for the video (and good to see you didn't cut it to show the difficulty you have doing it).

Superb! Helped me fix a loose connection on my Skoda’s fuseboard. Thanks for posting this

Thanks, both Halfords and Qwiklube didn't reinstall correctly but your video made me an expert!

That looked very difficult.I don’t think I could that without getting it wrong and breaking something.I’ll take it to the garage to be safe.

Thanks for the video it was very helpful fixed the fuse took the glove box out no problem 👍

Thanks for this. Sorted me out today and saved a trip to the garage!

Thanks so much. (I am on my husband's account.) The rear wiper isn't working in the Skoda. Lots of rain & he is over 500km away in another state. I took off the side panel & scratched my head. Once it stops raining I am going to try. Don't have enough room under cover to open the door wide enough to fiddle about properly..... Bless you. ❤️🙏

Great video. Would have been lost or breaking stuff without it.

Excellent video. Saved a lot of time trying work out the procedure from the handbook!

Thanks Rick.

Really helpful thanks pal

At 100 ( or whatever a main dealer, charges) quid an hour, takes how long for checking a fuse? About ten mins, so that's about 16 quid, rounded up to the hour, 100, to check a fuse!!!!! Replacement? That's 5, bill, Designed to not last and to make the maximum for vag group,

Thanks so much. Didn't realise until I saw this that what Skoda calls a "brake rod" is a DAMPER, and needs to be manually extended before replacing.

Just bought an Octavia and had the devil's own job understanding the handbook instructions. This video saved me so much time and cut the cursing down to almost zero. Thanks for taking the time to produce this!

Would help not standing on Gravel, might hear you Better light could see Sod all for that damoer and hook points, and a Stesdy Cam

This is great! Thanks!

Thank you, Rick, got a 2017 model and i thought i may have damaged the damper, but after watching the video it made me realise that i had done it correctly, to access fuse for 12 v socket in front cabinet, much appreciated post

Cheers. I will need this to wire my radar detector soon. 👍🇬🇧

What a arse of a job, just to replace a fuse !!

Thanks for video. Most helpful. Design remains the same for 2019 model - and seemed to me to be a little less fiddly to unclip/re-clip the damper than for 2014 model. Apart from making sure the damper is fully extended, you also need to watch out that the damper doesn't rotate and fall out of the key-hole shape that holds it into the side of the glove box otherwise you've got to pull out the glove box and start the re-attachment process again.

Thanks, great help

Thanks for that, it has really helped me to decide not to try and remove that damn glovebox... I do not have the patience to try and re-attach the damper :-( Could Skoda have made that job any harder I wonder?

Putting back the glove box clips is the trickest part even having put the extended clip on the main ones are something to have patience with.

Is that a Guernsey Parking clock I spy in the door bin?

Thanks for taking the time to make this video and help others. 👍

mother of Jesus...why oh whay did they have to make it so awkward to access the fuse panel for. Daft. Even the mechanics at skoda could eaily break the plastice clips trying to get the glove box reset in place. Assine design

I would've eventually worked out all the stuff you explained but only after hours of effing and blinding, so sincerely thank you!

good video.... but you dont need to remove the side panel or use any tools 1/open the glovebox 2/ Pull the box off the 2 bottom hinges 3/ the damper will then be the right position to come out of the glovebox attachment. 10 second job

What a rummy design by Skoda

Thanks for the video, it was very useful in opening the glove box on a 2018 Octavia. The shape might have changed, but it is possible to release and latch the damper without removing the side panel. To remove the box, I first released the box then the damper to open. When putting it back on, I got the box as close as possible to a half-opened position, latched the fully extended damper then pushed the glove box in... but it's fiddly ;) Good luck!

Hi, I have the elegance model which has the silver trim above glove box, the trim has developed an annoying rattle, would I be able to access the rear of the trim using this method?? Thanks in advance

Fantastic!

Fiddly but worked a treat, thanks for the vid.

Amazing help thanks. Quick tip though - you can attach the damper before you clip the bottom of the glove box in. Much easier than the fiddly bit of trying to do it afterwards.

Good video, thanks for sharing.

Absolutely dumb design seriously the worst ever. Nightmare to put 1 simple f-ing fuse what sheer stupidity

Thanks for taking the time to share this, I have one today for a service and the cigarette lighter isn’t working. Job done now thanks again.
