Stupid Glove Compartment Catch

[powelly]

This is seriously frustrating me... my daughter kicked it to pieces and I have received the replacement, but the damn thing doesn't close now.

Has anyone replaced the catch with a better system?

Joolz @ Joospeed put a simple spring loaded hinge on mine, keeps it closed with plenty of CDs in the glovebox and if any dodgy gits stick their head in looking for something to nick, they can't figure out how to open it!

Keep us posted on this one will you, as the idea of having the glove box (reasonably) secure when leaving the car for a while is a good one. Rich...

Mine works with a seperate key to lock and unlock. Must have been modded by the previous owner.
