    i have a NOS one for sale that I think may work, will need keyed but so will the used one. Can see it here at this link.

    To get the old one out you need to take a small screwdriver, nail or pick and depress each spring on the back of the lock while gently pulling out the lock. Will need to repeat with each spring. Do a search here on glove box lock removal and you should find someone that posted this before with better instructions.

    Mine is loose and keeps popping out of the glove box when I hit a good bump.

    After watching that YouTube clip, it appears my latch screw is actually attached to the lock (outside part). I guess I have detach the two pieces and start from scratch.

    This is annoying.

    Suggestions?
