I ordered a deluxe glove box (part # 01A-7008010-B) from DC and I thought there was suppose to be an extra hole for the clock wire.I thought WRONG!Is there an extra hole for the wire and where is it suppose to be located?The quality looks good and the inside lining looks correct.I am not sure how the clock wire goes?

I don't know of anyone that sells a correct glove box liner anymore. As you've noted, Carpeneter's are certainly incorrect. I would suggest you install the hole and brass grommet yourself. Easy enough to do. Although sad that it is necessary... Mike "Kube" Kubarth

You can get just about any size brass grommet from McMaster-Carr. Just log onto their site and enter "brass grommets" and choose the one you need. Sorry I can't help with the hole location.

The hole for the clock wire (grommet) is approximately in line with the left hole for the hinge bolt. It is located about 1 5/8" rearward of that left hinge bolt hole - center to center. The inside diameter of the grommet is about 1/4", the OD, about 3/4". You can obtain grommet kits at any hobby shop - Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc. The kits are cheap and easy to utilize. I have attached a photo, albeit not of the best quality, that should at the very least give you an idea of what you need to replicate.

One more thing that is not mentioned...the rear vertical card board is not covered in fabric (Deluxe models)...just plain back card board. I dont think any of the recent repro's have the brass wire gromment or plain back rear card board. As mentioned in other past posts Standard models are "all" black card board
