A previous owner hacked out a section of my glovebox to repair the latch. In the process they managed to snap both plastic mounting points, they attempted to glue everything back together and it worked temporarily. So now I am left with two broken mounting points and a huge hole in the inner liner. So short of cutting out a larger section of glovebox and making a new mounting bracket there is no solution other than ridiculous amounts of epoxy.

Personally I don't like temporary fixes, and the time necessary to design a new mounting point would not be worth it considering I would still have a piece that does not look as good as stock.
