If you mean the pin that's on the glove box / dash board itself... that piece is still in tact, but there's nothing to pull the latch back down onto that pin 'cept good ol' gravity... which sometimes isn't enough to overcome the force of a good bump.

So what I'm trying to figure out is what broke off the latch to keep it down unless you pull on the handle.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it, I wish that were my problem!
