# HARD CLOSING GLOVE BOX DOOR (REMOVE PLASTIC MATERIAL)

#### SUBJECT: HARD CLOSING GLOVE BOX DOOR (REMOVE PLASTIC MATERIAL)

#### MODELS AFFECTED: 1990-92 LEMANS MODELS

#### CONDITION:

--------- On some 1990-92 LeMans models, it may be very difficult to close the glove box door. Closing the glove box door may require several attempts.

#### CAUSE:

----- The partition inside the glove box located toward the right hand side may be contacting the lower surface of the instrument panel. When the glove box door is closed, this interference may cause the door not to latch easily.

#### CORRECTION:

---------- Referring to the attached sketch, carefully remove 5 mm of plastic material from the top edge of the partition for a length of 40 mm at the point where the partition is attached to the inside surface of the front of the glove box door. It is important also to remove the material of the right angle flange which is attached to the inside surface of the glove box door. Material may be removed using a utility knife or an appropriate tool. Care must be taken to prevent cutting through to the front surface of the glove box door. After removing the material, it may be necessary to realign the glove box door to achieve a proper fit.
