Reply With Quotethe other day i was going to lock my glovebox and the damn thing came out with the key on it, damn now i got to go to the dealers and leave my car there the whole day to get serviced :x
My glove box latch it broken it just pops open when I hit a good bump. I remember there was a fix for this on the old site but obviously I can't get to it now. I would just like to try and have it fixed to save on the embarassment when people get in the car I hit a bump and the glove box breaks their knee caps.

the glovebox has always been a problem for the 8g. with wmaharrisjr, try adjusting the latch possibly to see if u can get it to lock in better. if that doesn't help seek otu the dealer.
as for domielover's problem, its not an all day thing. it takes about 15 minutes to do. i get mine done about once a year under warranty
yeah Allen but you just dont know these damn dealer service department, they will take atleast 2 hours of waiting. last time i went to get a newly cut key program i was there for about 3 hours waiting for something i know shouldnt take more then a few munites
did u have an appointment? if u did talk to the manager. uhm i got a couple free oil changes and tanks of gas jsut cuz they'd take too long for an oil change or whatever
theres a new latch design.. go get one.
I think I am just going to Bondo mine shut

I have a 99' and mine fell open in 2000 and I had the lock replaced, it still works, but now I get the rattling also. It is funny, for such a cheap ass thing, you think they could replace it with something a few cents more for quality assurance :?:

Good thing I bought the extended warranty then...my car just rolled past 30k a few days ago...

I have a 2000 and I had it replaced last year on March and it just starting making the noise again. It hasn't yet started to pop open. But it will probably start soon. My car has over 92,000 miles on so I gotta spend the money to fix it (no warranty.) Ya I drive the hell out of my car!

if it helps since u replaced it, mitsu parts do carry a 12 month, 12000 mile warranty
Well mines was fixed cause it was rattleing like 2 yrs ago .... last Dec they "supposedly" adjusted it because of a new rattle... now 1 month later.. my warranty just expired and it's rattleing again !!!!!
Stupid glove box driving me nuts !
how do you recommend I fix it
a latch kit shouldn't be that expensive. id maybe talk to the tech at the dealer see what he says and then if he says u need to buy a kit go ahead and do that. if he knows something else then maybe try that too.
