I bought a new 2004 XG350 and a 2001 XG300 over the weekend. The XG300 was as is and I just realized now that the glove compartment latch is broken. I am going to talk to the dealer, but since I bought it as is I don't think they'll fix it.

What they did was shove a folded piece of paper into the latch assembly to hold the door in place. Dirty guys. The door opened once and when closed it wouldn't open.

I was able to get it open, but now it won't close again since I removed the paper.

I've looked all over online for someone who sells the latch and cannot find it. I also cannot find any instructions on how to replace it.

Before I resort to black velcro on the sides ... can anyone help me out? Where can I find the part and how can I replace it?

this glove box latch will have to be bought from your local hyundai dealer, if they don't stock it have them order it for you. this is very easy to fit yourself once you have obtained the part all you will need is a 10mm spanner (sorry wrench) and a crosshead screwdriver......enjoy your xg's
