Hi all,
I was pulling my heater blower out this morning as it got drenched and destroyed in the Sydney weather and discovered a mystery part. When I pulled the fabric panel away from under the glove box this part fell out with it, I have no idea what it is or where it's come from and was hoping someone here may have an idea. ![]() ![]() ![]() I can't even think of a way to describe it to search for a solution. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks Jon |

Hey mate,
That is the glove box damper, stops the glove box slamming open if not supported. Looks as though yours has been snapped off... The damper in my mazda 3 got snapped off and I found it sitting up behind the glovebox. When I was changing cabin filters. Hope this helps |

Nice find! Glovebox Damper is just another feature that is handy. If you've got it loaded with stuff and sick & tired of the lid slamming down on your knees every time you open it, just adjust it and it opens in a nice fluid movement.

Thanks guys! There's nothing that looks broken on this part so hopefully it will just go back on. Cheers

I just went and checked things out and it looks like it just fell off without breaking anything. The keyhole cutout on the glovebox looks a little worn but it should go back together without any issues.
