glove box is broken, how to fix?
first, it was just one side that was broken/hangin loose. now it's the whole box. it still locks into place, but w/e it hangs onto is ready to completely break off. found some used ones on ebay, just replace or is there a latch or hook that can be replaced/repaired? thanks

I'd say remove it, inspect it and see what's broken and if something like epoxy or jb weld is an option or if you can just replace the clips/hooks or if you'd be better off just buying a new one

Is it the bottom edge that drops down/comes loose? if so, then it is probably that the screw holes have stripped out. They are only sheet metal screws in a thin strip of metal. Get the next size larger screws.

I would also think it would be an issue with screws. I haven't removed the glovebox on this car but i did in my brother g6 and it was held on by about 10different screws and then some clips. I'd bet it's similiar on these cars the screws are the primary thing to hold it up and then there might be a clip or 2
