glove box closes but not all the way ...

My glove box closes but doesn't shut all the way and it looks like it's a little open. It's just that the body gaps don't match and it looks bad. And way i can adjust this ?Thanks for the help

Lots of threads on this. If it closes ok, then the latch part on the car (as opposed to the part in the door) is loose or pulled out. Need to remove your cd changer if you have one (one screw in a bracket then slide left and out) to get access to a torx bolt that holds/adjusts the latch.

EDIT: I meant slide the changer right, not left.

Yes. If you pull the side panels in the trunk you will see that it looks like the telephone company back there. The majority of the wires are on the driver's side, as is one of the fuse boxes. For the most part those wires enter the trunk along the base of the rear seat.

Pretty sure you'd need to do both. Not hard to remove at all. Had mine out just a month or so ago. I can tell you how if you need instructions.

Open the top back flap so you can see the back of the seat. Remove the several plastic rivets that hold the big gray plastic piece to the upper edge of the seat back. You pry out the center part most of the way, then the rivets will pull out. They are easy. Then inside at the bottom of the seat back, remove the 4 nuts that hold those two big heavy shiny metal pieces - baby seat anchors. Remove the two bolts that hold the seat belt ends. Remove the two bolts at the back of the subwoofer that also hold the seat. Remove the two other nuts nearer the front that hold the sub woofer. Unplug the electrical connector to the subwoofer. Pull the subwoofer up and forward to remove. The seat back sort of gives birth to it - it is much larger than you'd expect - a big box half the size of a shoe box. Remove the two remaining nuts at each lower outside edge of the seat bottom - one on each side. The bottom of the seat should now be loose. Best to put the top most of the way down now just for leverage. The seat is held in at each end of the top of the seat back on the very end. There is a big block of black plastic that snaps into an equally large plastic thing on the body. It just needs a good quick yank straight up on each end. That's why it's best to have the top down so you can stand up to do that. Feed the seat belts through the holes as you remove the seat.
