Used a picture-hanger strap (the kind that are nailed to back of of a wooden picture frame) to provide a strap for the glovebox door latch and strengthen the glovebox plastic.

I used small screws and cut them off flush but I could have used small bolts & nuts.

If the plastic is broken/weak, a strap could be put on the top as well and bolted to the inside strap.

The glovebox door used to fall open on bumps. This of course cracks and eventually breaks the hinges and hold-open guides.
