211 glove box lid

[Druk]

Can someone confirm that the lid is damped and doesn't bounce when the button is pushed. Mine does and somehow I seem to think it didn't used to.

Ta.

Clever video, how did you do that?

Yup, that's what I thought it should do. Mine comes down with a bang and half a dozen diminishing bounces. Anybody know what's inside there that is busted? Too much grabbing for the joob-joobs when on holiday has done it in.

A damper?

Made it with my digital camera last time someone else asked the same question, converted to an ani-GIF by Super.

I remember a customer who claimed I had broken his glove box whilst working on it....might be wrong, but is there not a small toothed wheel used to dampen it.
(For the record, it was like that when I got there!)
