Hi all , can someone please tell me where I can get a glovebox handle for my punto from ? Looked on ebay etc and dealer and the part is so expensive for what it is . I only want the handle and not the whole glove box ! Cheers

Think eBay is prob your best bet, they aren't that cheap anyway. Unless you can get a second hand glovebox lid?

Got mine from partsworld and I would say the price was reasonable. Donated members get a discount too

Hi , thanks for the replies . Will have a look at partsworld and see what price they can do one for !

The back if mine looks different to the ones on Partsworld etc. It's also got a number stamped on it which seems to be different to what's shown elsewhere - 735394616. The first three numbers are badly stamped, so could be something else, as I can't find that number by googling it.

Any ideas?

This is the part number for the sporting; as mine broke last month

Cost me £32, for the record!

The back of mine looks completely different to the parts world one. There's a single long prong on mine which connects under a short bar to unlock the glove box. The parts world one has a claw like grip. That said, I lost my spring a while back, so maybe something else snapped off as well back then

Thanks for this - was it easy to fit?

3 Phillips screws on the inside of the glovebox, easy as!

Ours did this.
The hole on the left hand side fell apart, resulting in the handle coming off.

I fixed it with a piece of metal and epoxy.
Make a small "L" shaped bracket, drill a hole in it, fix it in to position with epoxy, and a dab of satin black paint.

It's been ok for 18 months.

Hi everyone, I'm just about to replace mine and found this useful post for removing the glove box

Now much easier to access those screws!
