On that issue, you'll probably end up spending nothing. Just a few
frustrating minutes lining up the glove box door along with the
latch.
Most probably already know this, but the latch setup is an exact
setup that is off a early to mid 80's Audi & Volkswagen setups. Me
and my father always used to have diesel rabbits & Jettas for years,
since I was born, and the glove box latch stood out like a sore
thumb first time I saw it.
I showed my father and said, "Doesn't that look like the latch setup
on the Rabbit?"
Sure enough when I was doing some maintenance last summer and has
the dash apart, if you look closley on the ltach, you will see the
four rings of the Audi symbol on it.
Neat little outsourced part there. Amazes me how true JZD was when
he said the car was made with common components.
So to finish up, if the latch is broken, get one off a 80's VW
rabbit for a few bucks.
A little ingenuity will save you $$$$$$ Ask Dave Stragand, he has
tons of amazing little cross references.
