Glovebox

Anyone know where to get the plastic clip thing that holds spring to dash for the glovebox to rest against? Thinking about just putting a machine screw and a couple of nuts the hold it to dash.

It is spring loaded for a reason. If you put a hard point to a hard point set up, you might not be able to get the glove box to reopen.

Or just get part #20 and #21.

If you shut the door without the spring you’re gonna be opening it two handed with a butter knife later lol.

Jeffs Bronco Graveyard might have the clips also.

Yes here is how you get it open from the back side (without the liner installed) or you go above it with that butter knife.

Yes, that's what I figured to keep tension against the glove box door so it doesn't rattle. Spring is rusty. I just need the clip. I'll soak the spring in Evaporust.
