Glovebox door tip
Heres a useful tip if your glovebox door doesn't quite stay fully in the up position. Mine would constantly be slightly open even with a new spring behind (about an inch) so I started looking for a simple way to keep it shut.
I lucked out with one of those little extending magnetic pickup tools - they often use a little round magnet on the end (but its more powerful than most). I cut the magnet off and it fit right in place of one of the glovebox door bumbers. A dab of glue on the back and now its perfect - plus you'd never notice its there.
I got the pick up tool from one of those super cheapo stores.

Good idea, looks better than bailing wire too.

That's a great tip! There is a "Sticky" thread on the forum main page for cool ideas. Can you post it in there as well?
I installed a glove box light out of an old T-bird in my glove box and I worry that if I don't keep it locked all the time (it's a little loose as well), the light will come on and drain the battery. This will solve that problem!
