Re: Glove Box replacement

I just did mine (non locking) a few weeks ago.

Just gently pry the lock portion out of the housing (I'm talking about the chrome knob: you can either pry under the chrome part or you can pry at the base of the latching mechanism). Once that is out then there is a threaded lock nut on the metal (glove box door) side that you unscrew from the latch housing and you are all set.

Make note of how it all comes apart because you will have to put it back together and get the spring wound correctly so that the latch works when you slam the glovebox closed.

(It's not as hard as it sounds here).
