Glove box latch problem
The other day, I closed the glove compartment door in our 300D, and I must have done something wrong. The latch now seems out of place, and to get it to stay closed, I have to manually push the "switch" handle on the outside of the door to get it to stay latched. It will now only move one way, when it seems that it would open by moving it either way before. Plus, when the door is closed, the switch is off center. It used to be sort of spring loaded motion, so that when I pushed the switch to open it, it would move back to it's original centered position on it's own. I can still lock it, but it feels like it's meeting resistance. The actual latch arm itself seems to be on the wrong side of the "hasp" that it locks onto on the inside of the door (toward the passenger side). I've tried forcing it lightly back to it's right position, but it doesn't want to give. I don't want to force it so much that I break it. Anybody had this problem? Anybody know anything about taking the actual latch slider switch\button apart to inspect it? Thanks for any help on this! Lee
