72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Ongoing problem that I have not been able to make permanent fix. Intermittently, my glove box door chrome knob keeps falling off. Thought I had fixed but fell of again the other day opening glove box. So, I am considering buying the assembly/body without the tumblers in it so I can use tumblers from removed body, retaining original Key to open glove box after replacement. Has anyone made this alteration before? And if so, what was required. Been looking at U-Tube but haven't been able to see if/how those tumblers are removed and required to replace in new lock body. Can probably take to lock shop but seems like something I should be able to handle and had body out at one time but never dealt with the tumblers. That chrome knob looks to have been crimped on but no no longer holds knob securely in place. Pic is of the cylinder in question. Any help greatly appreciated.

1970mcss Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Is the knob falling off the cylinder or is the entire cylinder falling out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the Knob falls off. Everything else secure. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 That I don't know how to fix. If you get a new cylinder you could just change the tumblers. I can't remember how they came out. I use to code alot of cylinders back in my dealer days. I will do a little research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
