Glove Box Latch Failure
Yesterday I opened my glove box and the latch/lock assembly fell to the floor. The plastic pieces that the two screws go into fell apart as well as the right hinge for the handle (?). Right now I have the parts "super gluded" for short term use. I went to the dealer this morning and asked them to order me a new latch assembly. We looked the item up in the computer and came up with nada! It showed the lock but not the assembly. There was a blur on the part list (item 46) that might be what I need (the discription was vague...) Off course it was a back order item. They are going to bring it in in the hopes it is what I need. ($34) I assume it comes without the lock. I want to retain my old lock.
Anyone have experience with this? Mahalo!!!

But tell me; how easy hard was it to do an R & R on the lock? And where did you get the new latch mechanism?
