Upper glove box door closure???

[Sal731]

I am noticing that my upper glove box doesn’t seal tight. I noticed because I had an envelope in there that slid right through the crack. Now my ocd is kicking in. Does anybody have a fix for this or is my glove box door just defective

I don't know. I believe you're the first to report this kind of issue. I have several loose papers and a couple of envelopes in my upper box, but have never had the incident you've had.

Does the door appear to match the style lines when it is closed?

Yes. I’m gonna run out and take a pic

So you can see the lines match but look at the next pic. I put a little flashlight in there to show the gap

That is some ocd You could try some weather striping tape or similar. You won't be able to adjust it enough to totally seal.

Good pics. Yours looks like it is adjusted properly (I say adjusted, but there isn't an adjustment per se). It may have been a fluke, as maybe a corner of the envelope was already under the door edge when you closed it(?).

Lol. Thanks. The weatherstrip might be a good idea. I have a pack of wipes in there and you can slightly see them through the crack from the driver seat. OCD. OTHERWISE MY TRUCK CAME TO ME PERFECT

At least not as bad as the Silverado, you could probably slide a 5 subject notebook through the gap on that truck.

My problem is mine opens slowly like it’s rubbing somewhere.

As I've posted before I don't mind the GAP, in fact it's kinda sexy (sorry wrong topic).and wrong website.

There are a variety of SSRI medications such as Sertraline or Fluoxetine that the OP could talk to his Dr. about. It appears to be a serious case of OCD, hopefully not to disruptive of normal life.

You should not own a RAM if you have that serious a case of OCD! :-|

You think that is bad, read about all the complaints about the F150's glovebox not latching or closing and the gaps it has! There is a 10 page TSB.

Guess this would make you bonkers! LOL

Ok guys. Settle down. I just noticed the gap. Wasn’t sure if it was normal. Wow. You guys couldn’t wait to jump all over me. Ok F ck the gap. Not that big of a deal. See others crying about retarded **** and everybody talking to them like they are babies walking them through crap one step at a time. I’ll remember not to complain about anything in here. Good night. I’m completely satisfied with my rebel

There's a heat wave impacting most of the United States at the moment, so maybe that explains the somewhat less than understanding responses. Plus the fact that Ram owners are always on the defensive by Ford, GM, and Toyota owners for not buying what they own and stroking their fragile egos.

As far as I'm concerned your questions will be welcomed.

Thicker skin dude, were just yanking your chain. I noticed the gap too, just fyi. Nothing slides out but I can see the light through the gap if I turn on the ambient cab lights. It's annoying so I don't use them.

Same gap on my 2021. I noticed it when I saw the glovebox light through the crack while it was dark. Looks just like yours.

 

[Georgf]

I have the same gap on my Lonestar. But I think FCA made it to prevent creak noise while driving.
