Glovebox Door

[ssdvc]

The hinge on my glovebox in my 09 is splitting apart. Does anyone make the plastic inner box any more? I don't think a plastic welder would work (due to the hinge action) and I tried a metal hinge but could make it work (perhaps I am not smart enough).

Any knowledge would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Ugh, another $50+ part shipped to Alaska, I think I'll use duct tape

Just open up a Truck Restoration Parts store in Alaska and then all the shipping will be paid buy others.....

Anyone use the LMC part? I am trying to buy as little Chinese parts as possible, but I know duct tape won't last and the junk yard ones have the same issue.

Have you considered fixing the one you have with fiberglass...? they do sell fiberglass sheets and the resin at the local auto parts store... it's easy, simple to use and work with... I've patched a few cracked fiberglass bumpers and it was sturdier then the rest of the bumper...

The plastic hinge is what breaks. It box and hinge are one unit. It screws onto the door cover.

I went to hardware store and bought a couple of small hinges to fix mine.

I got one at the junkyard today that was in great shape for $10 I think the only solution aside from a major modification is to simply use the glove box as little as possible. I would think though that a small piano hinge attached to plastic or metal door cover would do the trick, which I might try next time should the junkyard replacement fail.

I repaired my broken hinge by using a piece of harness leather.
Works great.

I like the leather strip repair. I may try that. If it doesn't work for me I can always order the new plastic portion from LMC.
