Glovebox

[Vicinity]

Ok, so the battery drain might actually be coming from the glove box sagging. It closes, but yea there's a light on in there unless I hold it closed.

First things first, how do I remove the light safely. Then, are theres any ideas for getting the glovebox a stiffer seal?

Pull the bulb. You might be able to loosen and adjust the hinge underneath.

I cant get fit two fingers to yank it but I macgyvered the switch to remain off with a rubber band until the crap weather subsides

I remember it being a bitch when I tried to pull the bulb in mine when I swapped in the LED.

It’s actually easier to unplug the connector than it is to pull the bulb.

The latch can be adjusted, the mounting hole is slotted

Tape a piece of something so it hits the switch. iirc, both the hinge and latch are adjustable.
People slam them shut, and the latch loosens up.

I had a buddy in the 70's who's job was fixing factory fitment issues. He showed me how damn near everything on a car is adjustable; fenders, doors, dash, glove box, everything not welded in place. Some people need all those lines perfect.
