This one is from the passenger side. Never mind the broken glove box.  This pic is from behind. You can see how it just sits inside the handle. It does move around a bit, but works well enough. Hope this helps. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 97 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 97 | Thanks to all. Guess I'll just have to live with the the spring moving around. | | |
