    The upper glove box latch has broken on my 2004 Prius. It's been loose for a while, but today it finally broke off.

    Any chance of replacing just the latch, or even just the glove box cover?

    Thanks,
    Peter

    Following up on a three-year old thread, as I never got an answer. Can anyone recommend a way to fix this latch?

    I use this to fix my friend's glove box every two or three years. Sometimes it lasts longer. It substitutes for the broken plastic piece that can no longer move with the spring on the right side.
