    The glovebox is relatively heavy for duct tape type repairs. Might it be sagging in that area? BTW, I have a decent glovebox for sale - $45 shipped.

        Here's some pics. Inside needs re-flocked or painted or scraped or just left alone.

          I'm convinced my glovebox should go back in fine... Someone help me out !!

          It really shouldn't be this difficult to put in the glovebox.

            I agree it should not be difficult. Maybe put in the screws that hold it tight at the bottom, then slide the glove box into place, if it binds then just look where it's binding. I have removed and installed my glovebox many times with no issues.
