I can't get my glove box close all the way. I have tried everything and still come up with a 1/2 gap along the top. Tried moving the hinges up, down, in and out still the gap. Also have been bending the latch on the door, I think if I bend it much more it will come off the door. Need some HELP. 53 3100 root

Root,

I think the hinge adjustments only get you so far, they are more for the side to side. In order for it to close right (tight) I think you will need to carefully adjust the locking tang on the door. The key lock assembly has no real adjustment in its design.

Thanks Brad, that's what I thought I was going to have to do. I was hoping there was another way. Oh well, hope I don't break it. I guess if I do, maybe I can put back with steel pop rivets and epoxy. root
