2009/2010 Glove Box Issues

Post by ou.grizzly »

The glove box on the 2009 is not staying fully closed. The latch on the glove box closest to the passenger door is not "catching" all the way and unlatches after driving for a bit no matter how may times I close it. If I can not resolve this issue by realigning it somehow, to the dealer it goes...

I have this problem when I clean the cabin air filter, the glove box never goes back in right until about the third time of fiddling with it. I just have to find that sweetspot and it clunks right in.Hopefully you have a genuine problem, but I have a feeling that the mechanic will walk over, push the box with 2 fingers and it will clunk into place.

did you remove the glove box? you just gotta align it right and it'll snap right back into place. takes a few times when i first tried it but now it's not that hard anymore.
