Glove box rattle fix

[Calipso]

i did this but now my lock doesnt work. it just spins around. uh oh!

Bump an old post.

I had the same problem with my lock, but when I spun it around 5-8 times in the lock assembly it went back to normal. It takes a few times before it'll stay in.

Maybe the housing of the glove box is fubared like the 9g, you have to undo the bolts on ours, push it upwards, and rebolt them in...loctite + washers seem to be the fix I'm going to try.

The vibrating is much lighter if you remove the metal plate in the glovebox. (The one that is the back of the glovebox.)

where is the metal plate located? I wana take that piece out

I'm a little late to reply to this, but the metal plate is in the actual glovebox it's self. Take the glovebox door out and notice all the screws? Unscrew them all and you'll see this nice big useless piece of metal.

The only thing people on TGC could think of, that it was put in incase of a fire in the engine bay.

I have an 03 , mine vibrates rarely, I haven't had to do the fix yet. However, I only have 56,000 miles so far and I rarely use the glove box . I figure the less it opens and closes the longer it will go before it starts vibrating all the time.
