How to Install Tuffy Security Glovebox, Black on your 2007-2013 Wrangler

Mounting Directions

1. Remove the factory glovebox by opening it until it stops then gently squeezing the sides together so the tabs clear the
frame then rotate and pull it all the way out.

2. Remove the factory lock catch at the top of the glove box opening in the dash by unscrewing the two screws.

3. Remove the original two screws #13.7 in the dash face that attach the plastic molding to the frame just below each corner of the glove box opening. Save these screws you will reuse them. (See Figure 1)

4. Optional step to make installation easier: Pop the plastic panel off on the dash just below the glove box opening and remove the two screws holding the dash panel to the frame. Save these screws you will reuse them.

5. Optional step to make installation easier: Remove the screw on the far bottom right holding the dash panel to the frame. This screw is next to the metal side body wall just above the ground connection. Save this screw it will be reused.

6. Remove the original two nuts #13.8 up top inside the glove box opening by where the lock catch was removed. Save these you will reuse them. (See Figure 1)

7. Maneuver #4 Mounting bracket between the plastic dash panel and the frame at the bottom of the glove box opening then re-fasten the (2) original screws #13.7. (See Figure 1) If the other original dash screws were removed they can be re-fastened and the plastic panel can be popped back in.

8. Mount the #6 Latch Bracket to the inside top of the dash opening by re-fastening the original nuts #13.8. (See Figure 1)

9. Position the Glove box in the dash so the mounting holes by the hinge line up with the holes in the #4 Mounting Bracket and fasten them together using (2) ¼-20 x ¾ screws #13.2 and (2) ¼ Washers #13.6. (See Figure 1)

10. Check the lock operation and fit clearances. All the mounting holes are obrounded so the fit can be adjusted by loosening the fasteners and maneuvering the box as required.

11. As an optional security step drill a 3/8” hole in the dash frame corresponding with the center hole in Mounting Bracket #4. Fasten using 5/16 x 1” bolt #13.3, 5/16 Nut #13.5, and 5/16” Washers #13.4. (See Figure 1)

12. Fasten the #3 Door stop to the back of the Glove box using (2) ¼-20 Wingnuts #13.1. Enable it by partially shutting the Glove box past the #6 Latch bracket, slide the #3 Door stop up and tightening the Wingnuts. When the door is opened the #3 Door stop will hit the #6 Latch bracket preventing the door from opening further. (See Figure 1)
