aamercado Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have a 2000 RX300 and the glove box has to be slammed to shut and close. Anyone had this problem and is there an easy fix? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaro1 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have a 2000 RX300 and the glove box has to be slammed to shut and close. Anyone had this problem and is there an easy fix? Thanks I have the same problem on my 2003 RX. I tightened the screws holding the glove box and that help a little. However I still need to slam it shut once in a while.

blk_on_blk Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have this problem each time the little black plastic sleeve on the striker slides off to the side. When I reposition the sleeve back to center where the clasp will hit it, it closes just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titaniumrx Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 1999 with the same problem. In fact it was the only "as delivered" problem that was never resolved. Dealer even replaced the door a couple of times after tiring of attempting to adjust it. At least it's closed so tight it doesn't rattle.

pauljcl Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I don't seem to have any 'little black sleeve'... and I just tightened all attaching screws, tried to close - if it was 'off', checked positions and then I bent (with pliers) the striker(?) (the piece that is not on the lid) until all fit nicely. That was when I got the car 5 1/2 years ago, CPO, and it has worked since. From time to time, rarely, do we need to 'slam' it shut. However the closing motion must be firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauljcl Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 By George! I was very wrong. Apologies to all. I DO have a little black sleeve, which was not quite centered. I centered it, and - lo and behold! - the glove box closed easier (or so it seemed). So I too some marine glue, slipped the sleeve all the way to the right, and put a mini-drop on the left side, then the reverse, centered the sleeve (the object being to glue the sleeve to its ideal position), and ... I will know tomorrow how all goes. I expect long-term success! Thanks to all - and again, I eat my previous reply and words.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first things I noticed was the glove box needed to be slammed to close. Fortunately I had read this thread Friday evening while researching the RX300. I slide the black plastic to the center and it works perfectly. Thanks to this forum. I hope all my future problems are so easily solved. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denslexusgx470 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 The globe box has been a defect on the RX300s. Personally I did not have to slam shut mine, but I had horrible rattling problems with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
