Default Glove Compartment Issue

Hello,

Here are the issues with my glove compartment.

1) Does not close all the way, but does lock.
2) Takes some amount of force for the latch to actually lock
3) **** is extremely loose, actually is able to just spin

I've taken the whole asembly apart, but could not find a way to actually remove the lock itself.

So I'm thinking possible solutions replace the lock itself

cool thanks!

Seems like the lock needs to be replaced, I can push the compartment all the way so that it flushes to where its suppose to be, but when it locks it loosely locks itself and it hangs a bit.

Good Luck,,,Peace, Moosie
