Well as you can tell from that picture, my glove box door is sorta droopy. Even when it's fully closed like that, it looks like it's hanging down. Is there anything I can adjust to fix this, or is there a place I can maybe just buy a whole new door that isn't warped?
 
Thanks!

There should be a U-shaped bar where the latch catches ,it should have 2 screws in it,try loosening the screws and pushing the bar further back.that should snug it upThumbs%20Up

Hrm. That's adjusted all the way already. Should I just buy a new door then?

I have a similar problem.  that u-shaped bar on mine is loose and I can't tighten it any more.  another door won't solve the problem.  check to see if yours is secure.

Can you bend the door?

bend the door?  I'd rather look at a droopy door until I can figure out how to fix the latch.  but that's just me.

I tried, but it just bends right back out away from the plastic. I might try to epoxy or cement it to the plastic and see if it helps. I think it's just warped from age and heat.
