Thanks for this, I'm taking my car to the dealer to have this fixed as a good will/warranty repair. They fixed cracked chrome trim on the shiftgate surround as a warranty item so I am hoping this will be as well...

I've been putting off getting my glove box fixed but finally decided to do it this week since the car's in there for other reasons. I don't know if it's because I've continued to operate it since the spring broke or not, but as it turns out, the ENTIRE glove box now needs to be replaced, not just the spring! Apparently the entire hinge is damaged beyond repair. OOPS -- take this as a warning to be very careful with opening and closing your glove box if the spring is gone.

The good news is, Rosenthal never takes advantage of me, so I believe them when they tell me the hinge is broken, but they will probably show it to me just so I can see it myself, which is their MO. In fact, they're trying to find a way to get the part replaced via my extended warranty...
