Guys,

Help me out i am having a debate with Alex (BigUKG) about whether its a Glove Box Lid or whether its a Door?

I am saying its a Lid, and Alex is saying its a Door, help me out and prove me right.

Possibly the smallest and worst door ever.

[BigUKG]

Break the mould.....

[FiestaBen]

Oh god lol, I didn't think the door/lid debate would end up as a poll!!!

So immature

[jayrs]

its a glove box, end off door lid it dont matter, but..... if you want to look at it right, a lid is something that goes on top of something and a door is a "hinged" opening, but when it comes down to it fellas its a door and a lid in a way

like a bood "lid" or tail "gate" i.e hinged, but a car is classed as 3 door of 5 door when in fact it only has 2 or 4 doors, so im sorry fellas your going to have to agree to disagree

[BigUKG]

Oh god lol, I didn't think the door/lid debate would end up as a poll!!!

Agreed.... Tut..... Mikey

Weey! Someone else voted door.... who!?! lol

How was flap added?

On my PC i can only see two votes, one on lid and one on door

[Ratspeed]

What a pointless poll....................... everyone knows its a hatch

Seriously tho, i'm with jayrs, its a glovebox. no lid, door, flap. just a glovebox.

[hb69]

So, when you open the glovebox in some vehicles, they have cupholders, if its just a glovebox you will be resting your cup on the glovebox? and not the glovebox lid?

the point in this poll I think was me and Mikey were talking about the "budget" Fiestas which didnt have glove box doors factory fitted. And Mikey said they were lids? I dis-agreee

Ruishy, vote you're vote will count lol.

Depends really.

In my Mk6 it actually is the glove-box as the whole thing hinges down from the dashboard.

In the Mk2 the glove-box cavity is fixed in place and has a door on the front of it.

If the glove-box cavity is in the top of the dash, as it is in some cars, then it has a lid which opens upwards.

a lid usually means its removeable, so i would vote door

Actually in the strictest definition, a cover is removable and a lid is a hinged top to a container.

[Ruishy1]

dont be so pedantic and anal
if we start going in depth into complete definitions on this forum, we would be here for days with most threads

[jayrs]

damn, busted

[Ruishy1]

[jayrs]

:lol: i always though there was something weird about you mate

[Stemh]

Got to say door...

[Ruishy1]

only joking jay, you know i love you really

[dontpannic]

Cor, whats wrong with some people?

Its got two hinges and a handle, remind you of anything?

ITS A DOOR

A lid goes on top of something, think of the lid on a tin of beans or sweets etc.

If you go into a scrapyard and ask them for a glovebox lid they'll correct you and tell you its a door.

Family Guy quote. And I claim my free prize.

As to the topic, in most cars, the glovebox actually opens down out of the dashboard. However, in cars like the Fiesta, where the glovebox is a covered cavity in the dashboard, I have always called it a glovebox lid, and I am supported in this by the Oxford English Dictionary:

OED definition of 'lid'
As stated, 'a removable or hinged cover for the top of a container'.

OED definition of 'door'
As stated, 'a movable barrier at the entrance to a building, room, or vehicle, or in the framework of a cupboard'.

Now, I'm not sure about the rest of you, but the last time I checked, a glovebox is not a building, is too small to be a room, and is found within a vehicle... and it's only a 'cupboard' in the loosest possible sense of the word. However, it is a container whose cover is hinged, and as such I would conclude that that cover is a 'lid' rather than a 'door'. I thank you.
