E36 is my favorite BMW chasis 👍🏻

[@MR-bz5ye]

I'm here with a 318i seeing these comments, shows me I'm still fighting the good fight 😂😂😂😂

[@alexbucher5627]

there is a much easier fix for this - just add two additional screws left and right of the lock latch and the gap is gone - holds my glove box together since many years

[@danc2014]

The box is not fixed until you have a working light.

[@S1ckbg]

if you don't have a sagging gloves box are you even driving e36 bro :D if your whole interior is squeaking you get extra street cred

[@DalyDriverTV]

Bro, the door cards are self-lightening

[@DangerousDaedric]

Mine fell off

[@MR-bz5ye]

Facts

[@cashiefisaacs3815]

Intro is a bit long yeah but the video is darn good bro. Subscribing because you defs have potential. Keep it up.

[@matthewcativo303]

does anyone know if the plastic piece that covers the airbag pops off? the one on my e36 has a dent in it

[@matt75hooper]

Great video. Have you ever replaced the climate control power module under the OBC ? I can't get it out yet its as shaky as a bad tooth. Don't want to break it just swap it out. Thanks.

[@DalyDriverTV]

I have not, check out my radio install video for something adjacent. I think the cubby isnt hard to pop out and you go from there.

[@matt75hooper]

I got it out. What a pain. I tried 1k angles. It finally slipped out with no room to spare.

[@cooldoctor174]

This guy is funny 😂

[@jw200]

How to fix the soft opening or how it should work? Mine just drops open. I dont think its normal

[@DalyDriverTV]

I'm not sure yes there is a soft opening I think I greased the mechanism while I was in there. Worst case scenario just get a new salvage part

[@benf424]

Do you know the part numbers for the 3 screws at 1:45? I am missing some screws on mine.

[@DalyDriverTV]

sorry I do not, maybe check Realoem.com or find a parts car. Thanks for watching!

[@benf424]

Cool. Nice video by the way.

[@ismailbeygirci9394]

never seen e36 without saggy glovebox tho... fun fact one of the bmw dealers here has avus blau m tech 320i sedan with 1000 km at most and it still has saggy glove box lol

[@crisl9518]

I've got 220k miles and no sag

[@notphew7281]

You know the e36 is reliable if the glove box is falling apart

[@gregjennings1]

new friend have a great day

[@quackduck220]

At 6:09 you state the cylinder has to be between locked unlocked to remove. I don't think this is correct and I'm genuinely curious where you got this information since I don't see it anywhere else online. I removed two cylinders this last weekend: one from my old vent panel and one from a junkyard one for which I did not have the key. The former I removed in the unlocked position. The latter, I picked and locked and removed in the locked position. In another video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWepZ3yHhbShpc0) the cylinder seems to be removed in the unlocked position. The actual hard part of this task is spreading the tabs to enable the lock cylinder to come out. I used a flathead and twisted it then inserted a toothpick or sewing needle in between the plastic tab and the cylinder. I recommend wrapping the flathead in tape to avoid mangling the plastic.

[@DalyDriverTV]

interesting glad you found a step to skip. It was good to practice spreading the tabs on my original glove box in preparation for the keeper. Thanks for watching!

[@DalyDriverTV]

was it to keep the inserts in the tumbler from falling out?

Mine fell off

[@DalyDriverTV]

Before or after your door cards 😂 😂

[@theraven507]

And it still sags 😫💀

[@DalyDriverTV]

I know. But slightly less!

[@philipsavenkovsavenkov3855]

Intro too long and unnatural! Be yourself you have lots of potential!
