Glove box rattle fix

[mrjaydeeone]

I purchased a new handle last year and that seemed to control the problem a little, a gap remained though when my glove box was closed. I saw someone on www.club3g.com that was experiencing the gap problem as well. What he did was bend the latch on the inside of the glove box up. I attempted this last night. And that solved the rattle and the gap.
EDITwhen attempting this fix, don't bend the latch too much, just enough to solve your issue, even if it means trial and error, bending a little, and then closing the glove box, and bending more if needed

[Serstylz2]

apparently u cant bend it too much, i bent mine and u cant shut the glovebox without pullin the handle first that way.. if its supposed to do that then i'll bend it more cuz i still had a gap

bent it up,

[Serstylz2]

did u bend the front part of the U latch up, or the WHOLE U latch? When I bent the front of the U latch it worked until i went too far, havent tried doin the whole latch tho

[GreyGoose01]

ok cause my mother's G does it TERRIBLY....mine hasn't started yet, but by bend it up do you mean away from you or towards you?

[g-ridda]

bend it towards the sealing.

i tied it last night and it worked great

what i did was tak a screw driver and put it inside the U with the tip on the upper side of the U and the middle of the screw drive is touching the bottom of the bar that glove box actually hooks on to and pull the screwdriver up towards the sealing. move it up little by little till u can close the box at all then switch the screwdriver around to were the head is is touching the bottom side of the u bar and the middle is on top of the part that the glove latches on and slightly keep movin it down and keep trying to close the glove box after every time u try to mve it down till it latchestakes maybe 3 minutes
