    Glove Compartment Problem!!!

    IT BROKE!!! My stupid glove compartment locking mechanism broke. Does anyone know where I can find that one piece or where I can find a replacement glove box? I already called all the junkyards in my area and none of them have any Galants. I guess thats a good sign lol but I still need that part.

    Its the piece connected to the glove box. theres this little plastic piece attached to a spring and it locks the glove box closed. That little piece snapped and now I think I might have to replace the whole lock itself. As of right now in order to keep it closed I had to brake a piece of a chop stick off and kind of jam it in there. otherwise the glove bock would remain open all the time.

    I just looked at the box and realized its the entire handle. My glove box doesn't even have a handle. lol

    I had replaced this part a few years back and it was cheaper at the dealership. Well I think it was less than 20 bucks
    but yeah like Alex said contact Stewie and see if he has the piece
