Been a while but I got the new part from the dealer and installed it...it looked almost identical to the old part save a different fastner for the rubber seal inside the damper...I'm guessing most people must have had the seal pop off the inside of the damper and then the glove box would just fall open and then things would break so the manufactuer's solution was to put a stronger fastner on the seal so it would pop off...this was not my problem. My problem was that the seal was so strong it would let the door down and finially the hinge piece just gave way and cracked befor the seal came off the damper. the result: I've a broken hinge and a new damper that is just as strong as the old one and it keeps breaking the repair I did on the hinge...I've been looking for a new glove box door but so far no luck...

All for now...
