$500.00 to repair a broken glove box door. That's obscene !! Vulgar !!
The last new GM I bought before the 2007 Uplander was a 1970 Bonneville. The only way to punish a Corp like that is wait another 37 years to buy another one...

I have the same problem. hinge broke. I just bought a new one off eBay.

I can't get the bottom part of the broken hinge off. It appears to be riveted on. Any good ideas on how to do it without breaking more things than necessary?

I tried just prying them off like the plastic panel clips, but no go.

bigfastredcars

you have to cut them off with a pair of wirecuters our drill them out i used wire cuters

tchamp

so then what kind of fastener do you use to put back on after the rivets are gone?

Wrap a flat-tip screwdriver with protective tape, and apply protective tape around the related parts to prevent from damaging, while carrying out the procedure for removing bottom hinge. Insert a flat-tip screwdriver in the notch of the cap and release the hooks by prying up the cap.

These items are of poor design. Until GM issues a recall for this obvious manufactures defect any new or used gloveboxes will fail. I was able to fix the thin plastic hinge with a metal piano hinge. I have included pictures. The "inside" uses very small screws so as to not poke through the front of the door. I had to use a small stip of metal over the piano hinge so that these tiny screw heads would not go through the piano hinge. These screws are so small, they can go in without a pilot hole. On the bottom, I used machine screws #10 half inch. Here I used pilot holes. There is lots to hold on to on the bottom and 4 screws seems to do it. I did not remove any of the black plastic as that is what is holding the screws. The glove box looks as if it never broke. You would have to be on the floor to see the hinge.

I used a thin layer of heavy duty black duct tape on the hinge instead of the gorilla tape. Works well. Now I wonder though about the lock part. I think that may need replaced as door will not stay shut.

Do you still have this item? If you do please contact me at cscatter@hotmail.com. I would like to buy the glove box.

I managed to fix mine really cheap in an hour. Used a piece of strong fabric as a hinge. Put it inside the bracket so you can't see it's there. Works mint.
