#69428, "Glovebox Broken..."




          

Well, not actually the glovebox itself. It's the platic brackets that the glove box bolts to in the back. The plastic is broken on both sides so the only way my glovebox is staying up it the latch. What would be the best way of fixing this? The brackets are a part of the dash assembly, so I can't replace those. I was thinking of just JB Welding another peice of plastic behind the holes and using longer screws. If anyone has a better idea than this let me know. I was planning on just living with it until I finished my new dash project, but Fedex broke the hell out of the dash I ordered. Any help would be appreciated. TIA guys.
