Reconnect glovebox damper-2020

[twr]

Anyone come up with a trick to easily reattach glovebox damper after cabin air filter replacement? My little trained monkey is on strike. Thanks

It's a little tricky but you can get it will a little effort and some cussing.

I remember seeing you-tube video on it but mine does not have the damper although I do have the glovebox light, so the manual won't be scared of the dark.
I had my glovebox down just to inspect the mouse entry issues others were reporting, I have the mount points for the damper and was considering possibly adding it back on but thought why create more of a hassle when accessing when it works fine without the damper anyway.

Emptying the glove box helps a great deal...

The video doesn't show how to put it back on.

You beat me to it, I just was about to post that video, but you are correct about it not showing how to reconnect it.
So, I am assuming that he is trying to reconnect the lanyard from the front with the glovebox open, with the video he does it from underneath, so it may be easier to connect it from underneath vs from the front.

When I changed the filter, I think I re-connected it from underneath, by braille, and with plenty of cussing.

I think I did it from underneath as well.

I stretched mine a bit with the door half closed. My hands are pretty nimble though

OHHOOOooo. I just found out that not only do I have a light in my ‘22’s glovebox, I’ve got the damper mount points. Off to ebay to needlessly complicate my day!

That is just about my experience with it. I did it but not quite sure how?

I go from underneath by feel with door half open to provide slack...

Sid, think about your sentence, think hard, from a slightly preverted point of view.........

I have a 22 so I’m damperless. But if it’s like my Explorer where it is a little cord you have to try to pull, I use a pair of locking forceps to hold the cord and pull it into place. Works great.

I’ve hypothesized that all model years still have them but the lone person who could actually perform the install at MAP, retired and none of the other workers can get that damn cord fastened properly.
