Glove box help???

Hey I'm new here, I just purchased a used C300 and the glove box came out. I noticed it was half in but didn't think much of it, I opened it and it came off -.- I don't think anything is broken but I was wondering how to put it back in. Every time I try to put it back in I feel like I'm going to brake the plastic pieces on the side of the glove box. If anyone can help instruct me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. I know this sounds dumb, but I just don't want to brake it

I'd just take it to the dealer and say it just came off.

The entire glove box or the door?

Years back, the door stop in my C300 came adrift and the open door dropped down. I cried at the dealer and they fixed it under warranty.

same issue glove box door fell (W204_) - but long after leaving the dealer...

I had the same issue... trying to close the glove box door and it fell
MB service is charging a whooping 1300 USD to repair it....

I could fix back the glove box door but every time I open it, the door goes to the ground.

Does anybody knows what is the mechanism/part that holds the glove box in place?

I've searched OEM parts and It's 500 USD for the full glove compartment and 500 use for the glove box door - but I still couldn't find what was broken

thanks!
