Glove Box Latch Removal ?????
Tuesday, July 23, 2013 4:56 PM
Got this from Orlen (Thanks again Orlen) and I need to swap the latch because my original one is keyed and I want to be able to lock it. Does anyone know the trick to getting it off?

I thought there usually is a really skinny nut that has to come off. They are usually set up like most universal key locks and toggle switches.




On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.

See if this might be the trick for you John.

This is one item I do not think I have ever removed the lock mech from yet.I may check my ride and see if I can give some insight unless you figure it out first.Still learning on these old 1st gens twenty plus years later like everyone.

Rob, I thought the same and was looking for something like that and turning the assembly but could not find a solution. I just did not want to wreck it. Orlen, that link looks like it will work.


Thanks
John

These are real American Steel Glovebox doors!! Have a wreck in these cars , the glove box door can cut your leg off, and still be swapped in your next J if you happen to need it!

Made in USA!!
