Whats the difference?

Can a pass. airbag glovebox fit in a dash without a pass airbag?

 

i didnt think there was a difference in them at all.

but if there is, im in for that answer.

more knowledge for the brain ya know

 

Im pretty sure there is, maybe with mounting or not, but i know there is a diff.

Dk if it affects it from fitting, but im sure someone knows

 

i currently own a civic with a pass airbag and i see no diff in that glove box than the one that was in my hatch with no airbag.

i do know that the glove box does not mount differently.

the only mount points are on the bottom, which is exactly the same between all the years.

the only diff i could possibly imagine is glove box depth. which i dont notice a difference in them

 

Hmmm...it maybe nothing than, i thought i read somewhere that there was though.

 

None that i'm aware of, '92 - '93 are slightly different than '94 - '95 though.

 

Yeh...thats what im talking about.

Im getting a 92-93 dash with no passenger side airbag

 

94-95 has the metal weights and the spring shock on the right side. this makes it not feel cheap when opening/closing like the 92-93 glovebox.

 

I don't think the differences have anything to do with the passenger's side airbag, very few of the 5th gen civics over here in Canada came with airbags period and I think they still have the same differences. My personal theory is that honda changed manufacturers, if you look you'll notice the climate control bezel on '92 - '93 civics is smooth, its textured on '94 - 95 models (its also a darker shade of grey on the later production models.)

 

So either one should mount up?

 

STOP ANSWERING BS ANSWERS IF YOU DON'T KNOW!!!

Non-airbag glove boxes WILL NOT fit in passenger airbag dashes. The non-airbag glove box is larger and will not close with the passenger's airbag and metal reinforcement in place.

Now, an airbag glove box will fit into a non-airbag dash but why get a small glove box unless you have too.

BAM.....there it is.

Thanks

 

Anyone got a pic of non-air bag glove box?

Or the other ?

 

Glad that was cleared up, and now i know for the future.

im gonna have to get an airbag delete and a bigger glove box mine is always packed full lol

 

AHHH now I know why someone hacked the crap out of my glove box. It did have an airbag, now its blown up. I did notice that it is kind of hard to shut to. But im going to do the latter. Airbag Delete and Big glovebox

 

Ouchh...any pics of either glovebox?

 

I won't wade in one the debate whether the differences are due to the presence/absence of airbags, but the above poster asked for a pic, and I am happy to oblige. Courtesy e-hatch.com:

 

Sweet man, good looking....im bout to order a new glovebox from Honda soon....and my dash should be here next week.
