Can't figure it out The lock cylinder has to come out the front of the glove box door. Open the glove box doorand push the latch to the closed position. Lock the lock with the key. In front of the base of the lock on the inside of the door, you will see a small half round cut out in the plastic. Ahead of this in the base of the lock will be a square hole. Inside this hole is a spring loaded tab. You need to push this tab in as you carefully pry the lock out the front of the door. It will move a bit and another tab will show up. There are 5 tabs in all. You need to push and pry each one. When the lock is out of the glove box door, the part left on the outside of the door unscrews from the housing left on the inside of the door. It takes longer to explain than to do. ------------------ Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 I've been trying to figure that thing out for a year now. Mine is all loose and rattles a little. I'm going to fix it tomorrow. Thanx. ------------------ Aaron Dodsworth Langley, BC Canada 1970 Monte Carlo Aaron's Monte Carlo Web Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be the most complicated piece on the car. ------------------ Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
