Well, that sucks, I have 5" of room! I guess I'll have to modify the new one when it gets here. :shock:

Thanks.

Did you just put a/c in the car?

It has A/C but it is also in a 47 GMC truck too.

Just curious as I have seen a few glove boxes cut down because of a/c installation.  Some of the aftermarket companies offer a smaller glove box liner to accomodate the a/c unit.  Good luck

The original glove box in the Ugly Olds was "shortened" 4- 1/2" to allow room for A/C goodies....Really easy to do & more "user friendly" .... :wink:
