#4 of 7 2005 Montana by chupa415 Jul 28, 2009 (1:57 pm)
It seems the engineers still haven't fixed this problem. My 2005 glove box latch is broken - has anyone been able to find it? I can't believe the entire dashboard needs to be taken out to fix thi - that is completely illogical. It seems it would be easiest to replace the latch - this is also held with 2 screws as in the previous post. Then if the latch is part of the door, let's replace the door...................but we have to remove the dashboard to do that? as I said, this is completey illogical and ridiculous. How's the rubber band working and what are you attaching it to? Replies to this message: girevik (Jul 28, 2009 2:49 pm) dmak (Nov 09, 2009 9:16 pm) girevik (Nov 16, 2009 5:03 am)

Replying to: chupa415 (Jul 28, 2009 1:57 pm) I actually gave up on the rubber band (they kept breaking) and have graduated to an electrical tie. I've threaded the tie through the latch attached to the dashboard and am able to slide it on and off the hook on the door to open and close it. Not as good as getting it fixed, but a heck of a lot cheaper.   Let me know if that doesn't make sense and I'll see if I can't get a picture or two.

Replying to: girevik (Jul 28, 2009 2:49 pm) This sounds all too familiar. We have a 2004 Montana with the same stupid design for the glove box latch. I like your idea with the electrical tie, did you say you have a picture to show how you set it up? Replies to this message: girevik (Nov 16, 2009 5:03 am)

Replying to: dmak (Nov 09, 2009 9:16 pm) I never did get the picture, but I can try to take one.   It's pretty straightforeward. I just looped the tie through the latch attached to the dashboard and slide it over the little hook in the box door to close it.
