'55 glovebox alignment?

Is there a way to align the glove box door?

Got my freshly covered dash back in the car (need to repaint the glovebox door as I managed to chip it!) and the glovebox door doesn't line up. To be fair it never did.

Wondering if there is a way to align it?

Have you ever seen a T-Bird glove box that aligns perfectly?

This is one of those things you have to play with - trial and error - to get right. Can be frustrating, but in the end you can get it.

First take the lock out - then when aligned, add the lock mechanism.

I know this was rhetorical but yes, I have.

Thanks, I played with it a little this morning and think I have found a way to get it to align. If it works I will post back here...

I agree though that removing the lock from the equation will be helpful.
