I've managed to break the lefthand hinge (nearest the passenger door) of the glovebox lid in my A3 8p but after reading alot of posts (not all about the A3) I'm not sure what the best solution is and whether its covered by Audi which would seem to suffer from under strength glovebox hinges or excessive dampers due to age

The solution to the broken hinge seems to be
Any guides of how to repair it would also be appreciated
Some posts say the damper that stops the lid opening or closing too quickly needs either
- cleaning and greasing
- replacing with a new style damper
The solution to the broken hinge seems to be
- alot of money for a replacement glovebox (seems OTT)
- Somehow replacing the hinge panel but keeping the front & locks of the existing box (not sure if this works on the A3)
- Glueing or re-enforcing the hinge
Any guides of how to repair it would also be appreciated
