My 2008 RX400h is missing glove box door side attachments. Solutions please.


Shows glove box without side attachments.

 

Junk yard any RX330 and above should work.

 

Did they fall into the lower part of the dash? They are only studs that keep the door from opening all the way.

 

Go to a Hobby Lobby, Menards or Home Depot.

Find a dowel rod the size of the opening of your missing attachments.
Cut it to length where the rod goes thru both attachment holes. ( Maybe 1/2' sticking out to both ends )
Use your imagination to hold it in place.

I know its a semi hack but its a $2 fix.
Maybe paint it black or wrap felt cloth around it.
Your wife wont even notice it. lol

 

How much use do you have for the box? Velcro. Sticky Velcro, strategically located.

 

I have the same problem with my new used 400h. I get the suggestion about buying a dowel, but do I have to bevel the ends somehow to fit into the side notches? Maybe I'm not visualizing the setup correctly. The glove box is a problem mostly because I like to keep the manual in there, and if I have a passenger, not knock it into their knees when opened. Thanks.
