Glove Compartment - Misaligned, Can I Adjust It?

The left side of my glove compartment "droops" ever so slightly downward, but it's distracting me and I need to fix it.

Anyone know how to adjust the door so that it is more pushed "up" on the leftmost top edge? I looked, and all I saw were some cone-shaped black rubber stoppers that couldn't be twisted or adjusted somehow.

Anyone have this issue or know of a solution?

TIA

Mine does this too, bolt. Let me know if you find a simple solution. Otherwise, I'm just gonna live with it. (It doesn't rattle, and I'm afraid if I have the dealer try to straighten in, then I'll have a straight, noisy glove instead of a slightly misaligned but silent one.)

Please do not mess with your glove box. Mine got stuck and the dealer ended up replacing the whole thing.

Will do, TLG. The dash is so pretty that the droopy-lipped glove compartment shouldn't be such an eyesore. But it is. There must be a solution. I'm going to try using the glove box lock. Two reasons for this:

1. I've never used a glove box lock in the 24 years I've been driving cars.

2. It might fix the glove box alignment issue.

I'm off to the garage. Be right back....

Maybe there's a loose hinge somewhere?

If anyone wants to have fun with tools, I bet someone could get it to align.

Mine's the same. I wandered around the lot at Sunnyvale Acura this morning and every single TL in the place had a glove box that's drooping on the left side.

As it happens, mine is in getting a glove box rattle fixed.
