Advice needed, First Post.
Hello to all. Ive been using this forum for a while now for tons of info and just decided to join today to ask all you experts for some advice. I have a 2004 BS Sedan and im havin a problem with the door on the little storage cubby above the glove box. The leather cover is peeling off the plastic back (damn ex couldnt keep her feet off the dash). Anyways, i was wondering if anyone had any advice on how i could fix this or how to replace it. Thanks in Advance for any info.

Yes those are just air fresheners i found at the local auto parts store when i was getting oil change stuff. Cherry scented haha. Wanted to see if they were stronger or lasted longer than my usual can of California Car scents.

DUDE I WOULDVE CHOPPED OFF THOSE LEGS!
I NEVER, I MEAN NEVER LET ANYONE PUT THEIR FEET UP.
its like going to someones house and stepping on their pillows with shoes on.
mind as well liquid nail the crap out of it.
p.s. that mustve been one smelly feet, to melt down all that glue. lol

Ya i thought about tryin somethin like that the only problem is that i cant seem to get the damn thing apart. I took all the screws out of the back of it and can get to separate but i have no idea how to get it off of the hinges. Without bein able to do that its gonna be a pain in the a$$ to get it glued back on properly. It doesnt even look like it was originally glued on but more like it was a press fit between the plastic.

I hate people putting feet on the dash! It annoys me everytime i'm driving down the highway and i look over and some chick has her feet up on the dash with dirty flip flops.
Of course if she's cute....gotta check it out at least
As for adhesive to use....go to Home depot and go to the adhesive aisle. Look for "3M super 90" adhesive. It is high strenght and will withstand high interior heat. I've used this stuff to redo headliners all the time and it holds nicely.
When you use it, make sure you mask off whatever you don't want to get adhesive on. I'd recommend a roll of that blue painters masking tape. Tape the frontside off and then spray where you want to glue. Hold it for maybe 5 mins or so and then let it dry a few hours. It will be permanent.
Of course, i'd take the box out to do this.

As to the adhesive, from your description im guessin its a spray? Is there anything ud reccomend thats like in a tube or anything lol id prefer to do this without tryin to take the whole glove box out but if thats what I need to do then ill do it. Looks like thats gonna be my Saturday project including painting my grill.
Thanks for the info.
