Noisy Glove Box Door Fix

I re-engineered the glove box to fix a rattle. One bumper missing, the other bumper worn out. I installed strips of very dense foam weatherstripping from Home Depot (3/4" wide x 3/8" thick.) Works like a charm. Next to my using an old fashioned screen door turnbuckle style reinforcement rod to replace the under seat wire for adjusting the seat, this is my best "invention."

Re: Noisy Glove Box Door Fix

Now we need to make a glove box door hinge that isn't made of 30 year old brittle plastic.....I might try the foam too though!
