Glove Box Help- 95 RMW

My glove box will not close, replaced lock and it still does not close anyone have this issue and how did you get it to stay shut? There is nothing in the way, it just does not stay closed.

Have you made sure there is nothing blocking the guide arms way?Could be something behind the box blocking the arms pathway!

Just as I stated above, there is nothing in the way..lol it is really annoying me not being able to close my glove box, but I guess thats a minor thing..LOL

Loosen the little screws that hold the latch, and move it out a little.

The striker may be bent. It is nearly impossible to replace the striker without tearing out the whole dash. It is made of sheet metal, so it is easy to bend.

Well, you didn't say, but can't he just 'bend' it back a little rather than tearing out the whole dash?

I had a loose connection in my module? (was causing engine light to come on) and I think it got repaired through the right side of dash near glove box where that panel comes off. I am not sure but it worked fine prior to this being done.

I stated it was easy to bend, so by inferrence, it can be bent back as easily as it is to bend.

I figured.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Greg,thats just mean














and FUNNY too!

May just do that (from the inside) Thanks for the help, I greatly appreciated the correct way to fix the glovebox..LOL

Yep, still got that open glove box..LOL

Can you take a pic of the latch and the striker? Will it not close all the way? Dont forget those two rubber stoppers (flaps) on the sides. If they were pooped out...that could keep the door from closing.

Is the latch closed? Open it then shut the glovebox...

It has been fixed, striker and lock plate out of alignment. Thanks for all the replies.

Did it poop out the rubber stoppers? Sorry Chris, couldn't resist

get rid of that annoying rattle,.
