2016 glove box hinge / door alignment
2016 glove box hinge / door alignment
Anyone able to help with this one? The right side hinge nearest the centre console appears to have broken or come loose. The top right corner of the glove box door sits flush to the surrounding console but the bottom right edge now protrudes about 5mm. If you push that area you can push it flush with ease, it just doesn't stay flush. Does it need a new door / hinge assembly or is it repairable?

Easiest way is just to pop it out and take a look. There are only a handful of torx-head screws holding it in place.

I think they do have a little hinge-pin for the hinge joint. Maybe one has come loose or broken. Unless you have a warranty, then just take it back and let them have a look.
