    Think it just means the lid isn't closed properly

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    ^^ usually the light goes off when the glovebox is shut ! I've not got one in mine so I'm afraid I can't help at the mo
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    The wife's old clubby used to do this if something inside the glovebox put a bit of pressure on the lid

    David you will need to upload the photos to the likes of photobucket and then copy the IMG code into your post. If you need help give me a shout or email the photo to myself and I will upload for you.
