Could someone photo their T3 Glovebox catch please?

Post by Mickyfin »

My glovebox catch is missing in my Caravelle, and I think I may of found one that may do the job, but would like to see one first before I decide to buy it.

Its the upper catch that fixes to the underside of the top area above the glovebox, the part that the glovebox latch locks into.

Thanks.

The catch is the black plastic thing on the end of the extra plate that needs to be installed if you are (like me) retrofitting a glove box.

And here's a useful tip for strengthening the catch.

That looks like it should fit or at least be made to fit.

The jaws look a bit shorter than the the T25 ones. If you get stuck, I have spare T25 glove box catch
