Glove Box Replaced Because Out Of Alignment
Thanks Paul

Mattman, how bad was the alignment? I just so happened to need something of my glovebox yesterday, so I went to the passenger side and sat there to grab it. I noticed that the right side of the glove box is not aligned with the reset of the dash area.

I.E., if I slide my finger along it, I hit a bump. I will take a picture to make it a little easier to understand.

Mine also looked just like the picture above. Tech did his best to straighten it but still off. They ordered a new door and surrounding structure...

lobewiper

Did the replacement solve the problem?

That is exactly how my glove box was aligned and there is no way I was going to keep something looking like that for the price of this car or any car for that matter. The mechanic assigned to fix it said "well they all look that way" and to that I said doesn't make it right. I then asked to speak to the manager and he determined the latch was bent and a new one was ordered. That did not fix the problem altogether so back it went again. Not sure what they did this time but it was aligned. Before that I had the pesky noise which sounded like something rolling around in the door but turned out to be the latch on the glove box door rattling when I went over bumbs. All aligned now.
