Squeaky Glove Box

Post by prienzo »

Hey everyone. I think I'm going to go crazy if I drive my car again with this problem. The glove box keeps squeaking. After looking at it, I can see that it moves a little bit when it is closed. However, I don't know how to fix it. When the glove box is open, the squaking stops. Please help me, I can't take the squeaking! Thanks.

Try removing the glove box and putting the fuzzy side of velcro tape there the glove box and dash meet and any other contact points.

Take the bottom knee bloster off (a screw or two at the most) then you'll see the row of screws holding the glove box in under the hinge.
