    Glove box compartment...

    Hey guys, after I did Insp. II on my car and changed the microfilter my glove box compartment doesn't close the way it used to. What I mean is it doesn't go all the way up at the point that I can see the screws that hold the compartment.

    Question: Do i need to dismount the glove compartment and tight something in the inside? Anybody with same problem?

    The EXACT same thing happened to me when I changed the microfilter. I tried removing the glove box again and reinstalling, no luck. I've tightened or loosened every screw involved in hopes of finding the cure, nothing. Let me know if you find a solution...

    I received the "fix" from seedster, and I think I am going to give it a shot this weekend....it makes sense,when you think about it, that it would do the trick...I will give an update, once I get done...

    I haven't done anything with it yet, although in looking at the fix and looking at my car, it should do the trick.
    Instead I have been getting the inspection II done, airbag replaced (took 2 weeks), Drive belt replaced and on Monday I have to get a tranny seal and the Guibo replaced.
    However, I will try to do it Saturday morning, in addition to tracing my alarm wire for Nick325ic.
    Sorry Seeds to not be able to give you feedback on this fix yet.
    Stay posted guys and I will tell you what I can on Monday at the latest.
