glove box lock

I've got an 05 Vibe and it did not come with a lock on the glove box. Has anyone added one and if so was it difficult?

Sounds like a mod that hasn't been done thus far... Not sure why they didn't bother to give us one, that sure is something I miss...

I don't think my 2000 Sonoma had a glove box lock either...nor do my parents' Trailblazers as far as I have observed...though I could be completely unobservant. Maybe it's something GM phased out or is phasing out as a whole? It would be nice...probably wouldn't work too well with my warped glovebox though. LOL

I wonder if they ever came with a lock when they first made the Vibe?

Nope, we don't have 'em on our 2003 models. And have several around here who own very early 2003 models. Bummer...

I was thinking if they did maybe the part could be added. Guess not.

Ya know, that brings up an interesting question. I used to work at a place where we made dashboards for boats. I have some locking glove box latches somewhere that were sent in as samples. I should find them and see if any of them fit the Vibe latch. I will let you know what I come up with.

that would be cool. the actual latch jst unscrews and comes out once you take that top panel off.

Shave the handle and make it operate by remote control.

Sorry for reviving a very old post, but after five years maybe something has come up? I am now actively searching for a way to lock the glove box. My Vibe was broken into last night and the thief got away with an iPod among other things. My question, is there another latch that has a lock, (maybe from another car), that could work? Or secondly is there other entire glove boxes which include a lock that could also be modded to fit? Thanks.

it's a plastic glove box, no matter if you put a lock on it, it would be broken in to very easy. Pointless.
