Need tips or tricks for glove box 200

What happens frequently (at least on the 240's) is that the mounting holes become wallowed out and brittle over time and sometimes crack out. Especially if the glovebox has been removed and replaced alot. As a result when the glovebox is reinstalled and if the top edge is pushed up and the bottom edge is pushed down when the screws are tightened you can essentially "stretch" or make the opening slightly larger sometimes causing the latch to ride closer to the edge of the pawl. What I've had some luck doing is to loosen all of the mounting screws and then while pushing up on the lower edge tighten the lower mount screws. Then push down on the top edge and then tighten the upper mounting screws. Essentially what you're doing is squeezing the box opening area and making a bit smaller. If after you do this the door doesn't want to close then you adjusted it too far. Play with it and you should seee what I mean. Good Luck!
