- OE-style design for a direct bolt-on application

Replacing a worn push button
A glove box push button takes repeated pressing, so its spring and pivot point tend to wear before the button face does. A button that sticks or returns slowly often points to a worn spring or a bent bracket. Check the button travel and the latch release before deciding whether to replace only the button or the whole assembly.
Replacing the button is quick when the mounting area is clean. Wipe away old grease and dirt, then test the new button by pressing it several times while the box is open. A stiff press may mean the bracket needs adjusting rather than a new button.
- Check the bracket for cracks before fitting
- Clean the mounting area for a firm seat
- Test the latch release with the door closed and open
