Last weekend, passenger in car, glove box just fell open of its own accord... Passenger was my mates lad who's a copper in the Met so naturally I accused him immediately wink Thought he might have nudged the button with his knee... finally got round to why it won't stay closed, here's the reason...




The rectangular plate which has the catch had come detached from the box door.... you can clearly see where the plastic threaded lugs on the box have just parted... Should be fixable with the right plastic adhesive though.....

Anyone else experienced this? Oh, it's an 07MY......................

How it should look.....

You should be able to glue them back on with some good super glue, but it may be worth putting some double sided tape between the two also.
