Hi Dave
 As I remember, I was able to do the bulb replacement by removing the glove box.  If you need to replace the glove box the replacement from TRF fits perfectly as opposed to the Moss glove.box which was impossible to install.
Best, Bob

Dave,
A short while after installing a new trunk hinge, it broke.  I believe it’s cheap construction that caused it to break.  Mine broke in half.  Sounds like yours not too bad and job weld to the rescue.  Good luck.

You guys are very ambitious.  I had a trunk hinge that tended to pop out
and I just popped it back in when I noticed it coming adrift.  Over and
over again.  For many years.
