Don't feel too bad....what's a glovebox compared to the bigger and secure
trunk compartpart you ghot there? Afterall, some LB owners might be jealous of your sedan too. You can get yourself this impressive spoiler which LB owners can't mount. (j/k) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-0...Q5fAccessories

So after a little searching, and some help from CTScott,
The part number for the glove box doors are : 55041-52010-B0 (Door sub-assy, Instrument panel box, No. 1) and 55041-52010-B0 (Door sub-assy, Instrument panel box, No. 2) TRDSparks sells them for $101 for the driver's side, and $120 for the passenger side. Now on to stage two of the problem. The bottom of the two glove boxes I want, are part of the entire dash. So my options are replace the entire dash, or build some sort of custom bottom out of fiberglass or something. I actually think building a bottom will be possible, and I think I remember seeing a metal pillar in behind the dash I could mount it too.. I'll have to go exploring under the dash a little more and see what we can do. I think I'm gonna do the driver's side first so i don't have to worry about the air bag :D |

What's not to understand? It's a mounting ball for Garmin GPS units screwed into the glovebox lid.

I'm thinking if I have to custom make a bottom to make the glove box, I'll probably end up making mounting spots for a tomtom, scangauge, and maybe even a TMPS gauge. That way I can just close the glove box and hide all my goodies from prying eyes. |

It's a great place to put the GPS unit. It prevents you from using it (reaching through the steering wheel to tap the screen, etc.) while you're driving. Makes it easy to see as well since it's directly in front of you.

I mounted my nuvi to the small window infront of the big window on the drivers side door. Very handy spot. Maybe the LB dash can fit into the sedan? or I'll sell you mine for over 9000 dollars. |

::EDIT:: upon further inspection, can I assume that the base has 4 notches with a metal ring exposed in those notches, to which you used string, and made 4 holes in the dash? (judging also from the second picture) I take it the mount has a 'beauty ring' to hide the mount.... |

I've replaced the old Garmin in the picture above with a new Garmin Nuvi: Here's a picture of the mounting ball: The four notches have "lips" that the head of the screws catch on. This is what holds the mounting ball down. I simply placed the mounting ball in the spot where I wanted it, traced the four notches then drilled holes where I traced the notches. Then I screwed the mounting ball in and used a washer and nut for each screw on the inside surface / back of the glovebox cover. My new Garmin Nuvi came with a cradle that snaps onto that ball: |

My drivers side glovebox works perfect for my ciggarrettes, and garage door opener.
