Glove Box Fix: $3 receiver replacement included in the $40 handle/lock package? 850 1994

That little reciever part is not included in the 40 buck kit. You will need it.
I fixed my box 2 weeks ago. I bought the little metal bar that I had cut(to get inside the glove) and the 40 dollar parts kit to replace the lever arms, etc. contained inside the glove box door.

All I needed was to replace a tiny little broken part in the glove box mechanism, located in the glove door. A part at the end of the arms that has a little nub of metal on it had snapped. It had broken and would not make the catch pull back so that the door would open. It is poorly made and is probably what the majority of these "locked" glove box problems are. I replaced the little metal bit and am left with the rest of the kit. 40 bucks for a 2 dollar part - yuck.

The lock mechanism was not involved at all with my "locked box" so don't mess with that unless you need to.
