Chuck Pierpont 3 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Does anybody know what is supposed to hold the driver side glove box lid closed? I have a knob that is retained by one screw on the inside of the glove box door and nothing else. Is there supposed to be some sort of detent? The psgr. side has the lock that twists into a slot in the dash but, I have nothing for the other side. Link to post Share on other sites

38ShortopConv. 25 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) If its any thing like my 38 Zephyr the lid has a spring clip at bottom center to keep it shut, should be same on passenger side. The spring/clips are horseshoe shaped 1/2" wide and tricky to clip in. Edited October 8, 2019 by 38ShortopConv. (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
