GLove box.
Hi everyone AGAIN lol.
The door to my glovebox has warped somewhat and although it shuts ok you cant help but notice the gap around box and the door which i think looks terrible. Is this a common thing in the M100s and is it possible to get a decent one with key somewhere these days.
Thanks.

Are you sure its warped as the outside is just a shell which can come unglued from the rest of it. Pulling it apart enough to re-glue it sorted it for me.

My wife's just divorced me because I wouldn't open the car door for her!
To be fair I panicked and swam straight for the surface.

They've never been a good fit.
Even when you sort it out it will soon wander when you open it, and when you want to get behind it for some reason, it will be back to square one.....or not, as the case may be.

Ok thanks guys. I`ll take it apart and see if i can get it flat again with gluing it. Shame they`ve never been a good fit, it ruins the look of the dash when it sticks out from being flush.
thanks again.

I see this is a few years old, mine appears similar. Did glue the part that was detached, but remains banana shaped. One side worse than the other. Did anyone get this sorted?
A couple of pics to show how banana shaped it is. Even the centre looks a bit too far out as well.
Anyone tried somehow attaching a metal bar near the edge?

I would say it looks a bit worse than mine, but I suspect they are all similar somehow.
That doesn't mean this cannot be sorted of course.

Well have had a play with mine and after refitting it looks much better.
