Fix a broken C4 Coupe or Hatch broken glove box handle
Here is how i fixed the broken Glove Box Handle.

I took the glovebox out if the car because it was too cold to do it outside.

First picture is how to open the door when it is broken.



After taking the glovebox lid off, just to make it easier.

Drill a couple of pilot holes through the broken handle, and mark on the catch where it broke off. Pilot the catch and screw handle in place using 2 self-tapper screws. You need screws about 35mm long.





So, it's fixed, and is now probably stronger than when new.

As an additional note.

You could do this as a preventive measure.

Just take the glovebox out of the car, lift the handle like you would to open the door. Drill a pilot hole in the middle (just as in the pictures above) and pop a self-tapper in.

This should secure it, and stop it snapping off.

 Be careful what you put in your glove box and where you put it. It is quite easy to unseat the hinges. I have spent some time this afternoon easing mine open with screwdrivers, knives etc. Fortunately I managed to release it without damage and all seems to be well.

Incidentally, to those who may not be aware, the cooling compartment within the glove box fed by the air conditioning, works very well.
