Which one fits??

[MORRIE]

Which one of these spacers fits onto the dashboard panel to help install glove box?

Notice that the angles of the spacers are different. BTW this piece of the dashboard trim holds the passenger air bag cover. It's been removed from the dashboard. This photo is showing the corner where the spacer is to be attached in helping mount the glove box.

Looks like they are both used to hang the glovebox. The angled spacer goes on the right and the square spacer on the left.
See spacers No. 10 and 12:

And the several images for each spacer:

The left one looks similar to the one on the driver's side of my Z3. Mine looked like the second ECSTuning link in the post above (more squared one).

On a side note, I grabbed the other, longer piece when fixing my driver's side kick panel that was falling down due to the upper dash mounting hole being broken. I took this part: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/51458397895/
from a junkyard car, installed it in the next hole over, cut it to length and drilled a new hole where the original was and added the anchors. Worked like a charm. Still have the passenger side to fix, so I believe I'll be referencing this thread again.

There's only one (1) spacer needed for the passenger side...think it's #12 in the diagram. It appears to be the non-angled one. The other two spacers are #10 & #11 and they appear to be connected to a much longer piece mounted under dashboard on drivers side (see link) I think the angled one is #11 https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...h/51458398110/

Looking at your link, I can confirm on my 1998 Z3 1.9L that the long one and the straight short one were on the driver's side. The long one to the left of the wheel, the short to the right.
