How to fix broken glove box?

[maxxor6868]

A while ago someone broke into my car while I was working to see if I had any guns. I fix the window and my door but the only thing not fix is my glove box. My glove box was lock when they broke in so they rip off the lock and broke the glove box door clean off. I manage to get the lock back on but it doesn't close all the wall now. When I drive on the highway as you can imagine the door rattles because it not fully close. Any ideas how I can fix it?

It looks like you didn't get the hinged or back end of the door on properly. Try again, make sure that it's aligned correctly.

Yes, what Parts Peddler said. I had this issue on a couple other cars over the years and both times it was the alignment at the back.

On a related note, I learned this odd habit clear back in college - when I leave a vehicle unattended in a place where it could get "jockey-boxed", I always open the glove box and the console so potential thieves can know ahead of time that I have nothing worth stealing.
