I found Alexmish's instructions on how to adjust the misaligned upper glove box. How do you adjust the lower one? In my case, the lower glove box is the worse of the two. The right sticks out and the left is recessed.
Anybody know how to adjust the lower glove box?

·Leadfoot, good catch. I've completely missed that one ! I just looked at the lower glovebox, and yes, the upper right corner "sticks out".
I am going to research "how to fix it", in the meantime will be adding this to my checklist.
EDITED - my checklist already had "check panel alignment on both glove boxes". I guess people are just too excited when taking delivery, and missing it completely (or just see the poor job on the top glove box, and get side tracked by that
)

)Hi,
I took the lower glovebox off when I installed my AUX-IN audio adapter. There's not a lot of hardware holding it on.
I posted some pictures in this thread in the Audio forum. You can also see how to remove it in Honda's audio accessories instructions.
In a nutshell, there are three things holding it on: the gas shock/armature that keeps it from opening all the way to the floor and slows the descent of the door; two stops that provide a mechanical stop on opening; and two screws at the very bottom holding the door to the car.
It's really easy to remove. You have to take a screwdriver or some other prying device to the covers on the stops, but they come off easily.
What might be wrong with yours are the bottom screws. The mounting plates on the glovebox itself have little cylindrical tabs that fit into the lower dashboard to make sure the glovebox is properly aligned. Perhaps your tabs are not in their little holes.
Either that, or the stop tabs are not properly inserted. Just remove them and put them back.
Good luck!
