Broken glove box

[Paul uk]

My Jeep is only a few months old and I was wondering if anyone has the same issue I have with the glove box. When opening it it drops to the floor. I’ve refitted the plastic runner on the Right hand side several times, it just seems to be very weak and the piece of plastic that stops the glove box from going off the runner is too small. All I carry in it is the handbook and two pairs of sunglasses. Has anybody had the same issue.? Paul

On the left side of the glove box is the mechanism that keeps the glove box from dropping attached?

To remove a JL box, you easily detach the mechanism on the left of the glove box and the glove box can then be dropped/removed. Sounds like the left mechanism is not attached.

Watch this video as it shows the mechanism in question being disconnected and reconnected.

Yes. I too have had the issue in my 2019 JLU Wrangler. There apparently is meant to be a tab in the back to stop it. Unfortunately it is not long enough and is completely useless. The Dampener is then taking all the strain of the glovebox and eventually snaps (as mine has done). I'm currently trying to find a resolution for it myself.
