Next question - glove box latches - adjustable?
Hello all,
Next question as I sort out my "new" 2014 E350 wagon. The glovebox was stuck shut, but I figured out that with the right combination of pull and tug I can get it open. The problem seems to be the the left side latch moves some when the lever is pulled, but the right side latch does not move at all, and seems pretty much stuck. Is it possible to get into the door and adjust the mechanism? Or is this a case of just buy a good used one from eBay and swap it out. Found lots of posts on adjusting various other models, but not the W212.
Thanks!

Are you asking about the double door center console "glove box"? If so, this topic has been discussed before. IIRC, the bottom line is that adjustments are not easily done, with various results. Most have to buy a matched set of doors.
I ask for this clarification, because I believe there is only one set of latches (not two) for the glove box in the passenger dash.
