I DONT KNOW WHERE BESIDES THE DEALER BUT I HAD IT LOCKED AND MY GIRL WENT TO OPEN IT IN A HURRY FOR SOMETHING AND BINGO IT WAS IN HER HAND I SAID DO U NEED THE KEY NOW BUT WE GOT IT TO STAY CLOSED SO THATS THE WAY IT SITS NOW WE DONT NEED IT AS BAD AS WE THOUGHT

I'd be calling the local German car salvage yard...

Thats what my in-law did to hers,thats who needs one so I guess I'll get ripped off by the dealer then!

I heard you need an all new glovebox cause it's all self-contained. I serviced mine and it seems to be true.

Maybe it's just a cue to be inventive and come up with a "glove box replacement mod"...

[SMG]

It would involve cutting plastic welds and it would never really be the same. I hope someone comes up with an idea, but I'm not cutting mine, it works perfectly.

just glue it on and lock it if its not locked it will look new just wont work it dont look too bad with out it i also heard it was a bigger job to do then just a latch thats why ours is lock and left alone besides there was not that much room in there anyway

mine broke a long time ago and we used a stainless window latch to fix it, it doesnt look that bad really. i'll take a picture if anyone is interested

It's true... you do need a new glovebox i have this problem but to buy a new glovebox from the dealership cost 319 dollars so im gonna wait on this for a lil while..

yeah a pic would be cool to see a quick fix :O)

[slugbug123]

sorry about the pic. anyway we put the latch on bolted the handle on because the whole thing came off and put some foam on the back to reduce vibration. i would have just gotten a new one but then i'd have to get a new carbon fiber kit or cut some to fit myself i guess...

LOL! Exactly what I was thinking. I'd rather stay without a glove box.

I'd rather drop in a swivel base video screen...

I'm sorry I'm in college and live off bread crumbs. Cannot really afford to spend money on a new glovebox. It would be a disservice to my passengers to force them to deal with it hanging open all the time.

I like how you always voice your opinion about everything you hate(Sarcasm). I have actually been thinking about adding a lift kit, 18 inch rims, mud flaps, and window deflectors just for you. Some people need to learn it takes all kinds, and keep their big mouth shut.

I'm editing to add the word prick, I think it's apt
