Seville Glove Box Handle

Post by Adam »

It broke. Actually did this repair last week, but forgot to post photos.

It's actually a whole assembly with the latch.

Disassembly is actually really easy. The inner cover is removed to expose the handle and latch assembly.

Now for the bad news. Due to top quality GM plastics several of the threaded posts which the torx screws thread into are broken.

I guess I could plastifix it, but that sounds like a lot of work. Wish they had used more and stronger plastic. It's reassembled as good as it can be for now. We'll have to be on the lookout for a replacement glove box at some point. Weak/broken plastic probably contributed to the handle breaking in the first place as it would flex around more than it should have.
