Hi,

I have a 1994 Fiat Punto, and the glove box lid has broken stoppers on both sides. The lid in my car has a lock that uses the same key as the ignition.
I'm exploring repair options and have a few questions:
  • If I buy a replacement lid with a lock, how can I transfer my existing lock cylinder to it?
  • If I get a lid without a lock, is it possible to swap only the inner part of the lid—replacing the stoppers but keeping my original lock?
The lid has a double-locking mechanism, but currently it only opens from one side. Also, I no longer have the broken stopper pieces, so I can’t try to glue them.

Has anyone here disassembled one of these glove box lids before? I don’t see any screws or clear access points.

I've attached some photos of the lid.

Thanks for your help!
Rui
