Sagging Glove Box

[Eric Drewes]

Hey guise,
I know the sagging glove box is a common issue, but I've searched here and can't seem to find any threads about this topic. I was hoping to find a DIY fix thread for this issue. I know basically there's not much involved here...just getting a strip of metal to reinforce it and securing it in place, but was just wanting to see some pictures and maybe get some tips/user experiences on doing this repair.

Thanks in advance

After arriving at the link, go down the list until you see "glove box", there are several articles on how to fix it.
Hope that helps

I've never heard of it and been on here 3 years or so. Is it more common in hotter countries where in interior plastics can suffer from heat?

The US glove box is a different design to ours IIRC, there is a crash structure or something in behind it, the shape is totally different too.

Hope its not any smaller euro spec glovebox isn't exactly spacious.

As far as I am aware, this only happens on the cars sold in the USA due to safety laws at the time.
Cars sold in Europe do not have this problem.
