1993 Glovebox

[kansei]

Mine never broke, nor did any screws work their way out, but ever since we got this car back in 1999, the glove box has never closed completely against the catch, and if you ever drive over any sizeable hole/bump, the door pops open (and spills the contents all over the floor). I recall checking all the recall work the car had done back when, and it showed something like 7 new glove boxes (!!). The car is an early one- December of '91 build date, so I always just chocked it up to that. Figured this one was probably a pre- or very early production car, before any running production line fixes/changes got implemented (it also had three ECUs and a couple of seat belt assemblies replaced). Since there isn't any adjustment in the latch or striker/catch, does/has anyone else had the same issue of the box popping open, and if so, how did you cure it? After ten years, it still drives me completely nuts. I never bought a new one since it had gotten so many already under warranty and obviously never fixed the problem.
