Glove Box Removal

[dj10]

All other interior trim
panels, except the dashboard, may be removed. Other than
to provide for the installation of required safety equipment
or other authorized modifications, no other driver/passenger
compartment alterations or gutting are permitted.

Does this mean we can or can't remove the glove box?

[Gary L]

My opinion would be the glovebox must stay. It's clearly not, as defined by the technical glossary, a "trim" piece. And it is certainly not mentioned in the allowances (or anywhere else, for that matter), so I don't see a way to legally toss it.

Of course, I'm biased... in my case it's a neat place to keep my briefcase-sized Bosch D-Jet computer. :)

You can remove it as long as you put it where your washer bottle is supposed to go........

A rules question in Improved Touring that nobody cares about? Unpossible.

I took my entire dash out to have my cage installed so that the builder could get the front down bars as close to the a-pillars as possible, all the way to the floor and get my knee bar as high as possible. Low and behold, when I went to put the dash back in, the, the glove box could not be reinstalled. So I invoked the 'and other authorized modifications' clause.

What a wasted opportunity to get rid of your washer bottle. :D

Dan,

Your's is probably like mine and glove box is part of the kick panels under the dash and not the dash itself. So I say it's lumped in with all other interior panels that we are allowed to remove.
