Glove box

[foxy1305]

Now this is a weird one. Opened the glove box last night (2008 w211) and it just seemed to flop open. It made me think, was it damped before and the damping has broken, or was I imagining this and it was just the way I opened it this time (maybe in a rush)?
Can anyone advise me if it's supposed to be damped opening
Thanks

Yes it has a damper and they come off the hinge...

Thanks, thought I wasn't imagining it. Can't see hinges or damper though. Is it easy to repair?

it fits on the side of the glove box... its a little tricky but doable with a torch and with a bit of upside down swearing.
