Default Glove Box

i seem to be having a strange issue with my glovebox. when cold in the AM, I push the button and it doesnt open. After third try works fine. I guess i'll have the dealer look at it but of course he wont be able to recreate it...

I guess it's a pretty commong problem because I've had these problem from the start. it doesn't even have to be cold and the glove box never opens on the first try. I'm going to ask them to fix it when i bring it in for the first service.

Same here. It's stuck since I got the car. The sunglass compartment in the over head dome sticks closed/doesn't stay closed too. Lexus quality FTW

My car is over a year old and I've learned to accept that "feature".

Mine sticks too, but no big deal. It's funny how every other cover smoothly opens and they didn't even bother to make the glove box cover open smoothly. My friends get a kick out of seeing any hinge open a cover slowly... they just keep opening and closing it like kids.

Mine did it for the 1st few months... i figured it was doing it cause it was new..

The button is lubed with that white/clear grease..

Its since gone now and worked perfectly earlier when I got pulled over and needed all my ppwk from my glove box...
no plates and CHP was bored i guess... my tax dollars at work...

However, i did notice it rattles at times with the owners manual in it..
If empty it, there is no rattle..
