If the dashboard has a rubber cover, the opening of the glove box is finished with a plastic edge to create the transition between the dashboard and the inside of the glove box.
Often, a previous owner used ordinary rivets to fix the edge, the edge does not resist this. The point loading caused by the rivets tears the plastic. So always use the push pin rivets mentioned under the Options tab. But this is not the only reason why replacement is necessary. The sun will have shone on the plastic for years, the plastic will have hardened or deformed. If you have purchased a new dashboard cover, it is advisable to order this frame immediately so that everything can be returned to the way it was before.
