Default rx330 glove box

I am looking for a RX330 glove box assembly or door in ivory(sandalwood, tan, etc.) not gray or black. My lock is broken and it appears you have to replace the whole thing.

Yup, I had that happened to me before, I had to buy the entire assembly, very expensive
too got it covered under warranty in the end. Have you try a locksmith to fix the lock ??

Locksmith won't help because plastic hook that grabs the metal bail in the box assembly is broken off and latch assembly won't even return to flush parking position.

Yikes, well it's off to the junk yard for replacement or start saving money for a new glove box assembly it was at least $300 from stealership

It's plastic and crappy? All I know for my box is that I can feel/see part of the hook, but maybe the spring tensioner in the assembly broke? The only way to find out is to open up the box.

Mine broke about 6 months ago, and I haven't even replace it yet. I barely even use the thing and it's a 2008 model. The cheapest price I was able to get out of the three dealership in WA is $364.40. And that's before the 105 dollar install fee to, basically, swap over the key slot.
