Omix-Ada | 13316.01 | Glove Box Insert | OE Reference: M1093 | Fits 1972-1986 Jeep CJ, Black

After replacing the heater core and rebuilding the heater core box, I thought this might a nice finishing touch to my 1979 Jeep CJ7 GE. It fit perfect and was easy to install. Much more rugged than the cardboard glove box that the jeep came with.

A very sturdy product. Looks far better than the waxed cardboard original.Installation does involve a little massaging. Here are a few hints steps to help you along:Equipment:1. "Stubby" phillips head screwdriver (due to the tight space this makes things far simpler; otherwise you may want to remove the dash handle/grab bar).2. Drill and bit set.3. New glove box insert. (plastic; includes 6 self-tapping screws)Installation steps:1. Remove the glove box latch bracket (2 screws down from above; keep these screws).2. Remove the old glove box insert (can be up to 6 screws).3. Insert the new glove box insert (requires some gentle nudging, just be sure to clear any wires and carefully work the new insert in by angling back beyond the metal flanges which held the original insert screws, then push the insert from below the dash over the screw flanges and all should be snug)4. Mark the holes on the insert.5. Remove the insert.6. Drill out the 6 holes on the glove box insert.7. Re-insert the glove box insert.8. Install 6 screws.9. Replace glove box latch bracket.10. DoneAlternatively, steps 4-7 can be skipped using a socket tool. or by using the original glove box insert to mark the holes on the new box (if yours is still intact) before the first installation. I found it simpler to pre-drill the holes, as the plastic insert tends to bend and shift under the stress while driving in the self-tapping screws.

Perfect part

In older CJ5 the heater air hose is directly in the area where the insert requires installation. Hose has to be relocated out of the way to install the new glove box insert. NO DOOR is provided with this product which is an additional cost item…if desired.Thank you for looking at the Review. Your time and attention is appreciated. INTENT, you find it Valuable, Informative, Useful and HELPFUL. 😃

Pretty easy install. Remove latch, insert glove box starting on one side first. Make sure all tabs go backside of metal so all the mounting holes line up. I was able to use my battery drill to drill small holes on all but the bottom two holes. I just took a drill bit and but a wrap of tape on the one end and "Hand Drilled" those two bottom holes. Used the battery drill with a Phillips bit for the top and sides and a stubby Phillips for the bottom two. I now have my glove box back, after the old cardboard one gave up the ghost years ago.On a scale of one to five beers, this is a one beer install.

I read all the reviews about how it either didn’t fit or was too hard to get in the hole. I didn’t buy it because of that for a long time. I finally took the old cardboard one out and saw how bad a shape it was and decided to buy this one. Glad I did. It was very easy to get in the hole and took less than 30 minutes to get finished. It is smaller than the original one, but that one wasn’t big enough to hold much so it’s not that much difference. Go ahead and buy it. I don’t know why it would fit my 1984 CJ7 and not fit others.

This is a pretty simple product and not much to go wrong with it.After removing the old cardboard insert, this one slid very easily into place. You do have to squeeze down on it a little but it will definitely fit into the hole without removing any other jeep parts. Once in place, I marked all screw holes with an indelible marker, removed the insert, drilled them out, placed it back in place, and installed all the screws.You may need a stubby screw driver if space is tight (I have the dash grab bar and a full roll cage). I ended up using a Leatherman type multi-tool to screw 2 of them in since that is what I had handy.The inside space does appear to be slightly smaller than the cardboard insert but nothing significant. A reminder, the plastic is very slippery, so items inside will slide around when driving. You can put a tacky drawer liner in there or maybe they can design newer ones with texture to provide some friction to keep things from sliding around as much.Overall, very pleased and would purchase again.
