Rattling/vibrating glove box door

[ivin74]

So I looked at my glove box latch assembly and found that the plastic housing where the latch bar (maybe called a latch eye) is screwed into (2 screws) is cracked and a piece broke off, so it is loose. Now the glove box closes (hook engages the eye) but since there's a lot of play the glovebox light stays on because there's not enough force to keep the switch pressed, so I had to disconnect the light switch connector. Now I'm looking for a pewter grey glove box assembly (probably the whole thing door and housing/trim)

Can you post a picture of the light, my suv does not have it. I was scammed by GM. I wonder how hard would it be to retro fit?

 

[OR VietVet]

Stop and think. Do you really need a light in the glove compartment?

I'll have to check my 2005 Denali but I didn't think I had one...perhaps just burned out...but then OR VietVet is right...do I really need one????

It's a Denali thing.

It's an 03+ thing. Same reason I didn't have front footwell lights nor rear door courtesy lights nor under hood light.

I have a used one.

My '04 LT doesn't have a glove box light. I feel cheated.

03 was the last year for the glovebox light. It can be retrofitted, or just get a used one from a junkyard.
This is the light switch you'll need for the retrofit.
You'll need to cut out the blank square to the right of the metal latch. I'm not sure how you'd do the wiring tho.

How much do you want for the used one? My color code is 922 (grey)

and FYI, sorry I used the wrong terminology, the "latch bar" is a latch striker.

Just hit me with a reasonable offer. Not sure how much it'll cost to ship tho. I'm in 07734.

Thanks for the offer. I found the part on eBay, shipping for free from NY. It's $130 for the whole assembly (glove box door & bezel trim). Color code 922 (grey) and is also from a 2003 Denali.

Np. Sounds a little expensive, but if you're happy that's all that matters.
