[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1323307, member: 277"] The glove box body has a sliding plastic piece which is moved by the solenoid and guided by a rectangular hole and sliding plastic piece pushes on the latch. The hole wears, the plastic piece wears, the solenoid forces the worn bits together and then the rectangle hole rips and no longer lets the sliding piece slide squarely and open the lid. I glued a magnetic kitchen cabinet door closure to the inside of the glove box and glued the metal plate to the inside of the lid. Worked great, never let water in and it went through some substantial rain and also saw some 60 psi hose action when washed. I've seen several other solutions including a knob and rotating latch. It may be worth while to search through the Forum and see what comes up. Like most of Yamaha stuff, the inside shape of the glove box is irregular so finding the location for the magnet and metal plate is a bit tricky. I think I still have my magnetically altered glove box someplace, it would show my work-around and also the worn parts. I found a replacement glove box for cheap so I replaced mine at some point. I recently replaced my glove box again and this time it came with an entire '15 ES attached [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
