This seems to be a problem in any Mopar I've had, is this just he nature of the beast or is there some little trick to cure it?

I've experienced it with the 67, a 68, and 3 -69's.  Under hard acceleration the glovebox door comes open and I've tried adjusting them.  I just wondered if there was some little trick that others were using.

On my 69 I put a few little washers under the catch raising it a little. So far it hasn't popped open since. I think there was a thread on here about that.
I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!

 :iagree:

With the dash out on my '69 I noticed the latch barely engaged, try raising up the catch a little.

sounds like too much power and body-dash flex is taking place....if ya really want it to stop....

put a slant 6 in it or use duct tape.....that stuff fixes everything

i have this problem in my 73 challenger i believe it's just in the latch assembly may be worn out or needs adjusted i close mine sometimes and it doesn't turn and lock in place all the time i keep forgetting about it one day i'll get to checking out what the problem is until then i'll keep getting  a  kick out of watching my friends and girl jumping because it scares them when it opens  :smilielol:  :smilielol:  :smilielol:

Hmmmm,

You guys should put those slinky worms in there (like the ones in the prank cans) so when it pops open ya scare the crap out of the passenger  :rofl: :rofl:

The popping open usually seems to do that on its own. :lol:
