 HI everybody I know this sounds stupid but i have a 68 and a 69 charger. Both cars have the same goofy problem. "when you drive the car the glove box pops open!" This can get annoying and also could be dangerous.
Do other people have this issue? What can I do to fix it. I have tried differant latches and different adjustments ,with know luck . Maybe someone has a fix. Thanks Cj

Duct tape. Hold those gremlins in check.  :2thumbs:

honestly its just adjustments, some cars take longer than others to get right. The worst one I ever had needed about 1/4" of shims to make it latch.

I noticed the catch from the door really does not engage the latch on the dash frame very well, try raising it up with some washers.  :shruggy:

yeah, that sounds way better than hitting it with some gasket maker or velcro
