Retainer glove comp 55567-33040
 

Hey Guys, just recently got a 2013 ES350, so am new to the forum... so far been pretty happy with it... forum and car :P

Anyway, i had a Quick question to ask if anyone knows. I got the car used and in the glove box along with all the manuals etc, there is a plastic piece sitting there, the serial number being 55567-33040... Now a quick google search reveals its a Retainer Glove Box retainer thing of some sort... but i have no clue where it goes. Anyone have any idea?? Here is a pic of what it is...

Thanks in advance...!!

Welcome to the Club and this forum.

I believe it's the shelf that snaps into slots on the side and bottom of the glove box.

Thanks for the quick reply! So you're saying this divides the glovebox Into different sections...? Like to maybe organize it a bit?? I'll be sure to check in the morning... Thanks!

On the right side of the box wall you'll find a small slot. The small tab goes into that slot and the other end gets pushed into the bottom panel of the box. It is a shelf that one can place papers on top and whatever underneath. Tis piece is removed to allow access to the cabin filter when it's time to be changed.

Here's a video showing the piece in question and how to change your cabin filter. FYI - 2013 and 2014 are the same.

Thanks alot for the response and the video... I managed to figure it out thanks to arty101 already... I've actually got quite a few questions... Think I may start a general questions thread if there isn't one already...

But thanks again!

Yeah, Arty's always on the ball...

You will probably find there aren't many questions that haven't already been asked as this model is now starting its fifth year. Search is your friend. Of course, there are many helpful people on here as well.
