Default What are the wires between the glove box and glove box lid?

Ordered a glove box hinge repair kit for my 2004 A4 B6 Cabriolet, but need a little help before I attempt the repair. On the right-side (broken) hinge, there are several wires in a clear sheath coming from the glove box and entering the hollow of the glove box lid. Can someone tell me what they are for? I have not seen them in any YouTube fixit videos, and do not want to put a sharp screw through something important. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hiya

I've got a similar issue, what we're the wires for. I think a sensor but no idea what!

Hope to hear from you

Wires glove box hinge
Just found out they are for Central locking actuator.
So redundancy when the roof is open is OK.... If you don't leave anything in them
