Since i've had the car my glovebox has always been on the stiff side. If I pop the latch it would drop maybe an inch and stop, I'd have to push it down the rest of the way. It wouldn't slowly open under its own weight, which is how I believe they are supposed to be.
The last couple of times i've opened it the plastic clip - that attaches the damper to the lid - has popped off, meaning the glovebox just drops as there is no damping. I can get the clip back in but it keeps popping back off every time I open it and try to 'assist' it dropping. I imagine I've weakened the clip by constantly forcing the lid down.
Is this something anyone else is familiar with?
Is the over-damping a common issue and would replacing the damper solve my problem?
Not really a huge issue but slightly annoying and I'm a bit OCD about everything working properly!
Cheers
