    Would someone mind posting a picture of what the latch for the upper portion of the glove box looks like? You can see in the upper edge of my picture what's missing. My parts car doesn't have one either. It's probably in one of my boxes of parts, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for!

    Sarah, The piece you are looking for is a "T" shaped small piece of metal with a slightly bent tab that engages the lock. The tab bends down to secure the catch when you push forward on the glove box door.

    Sarah,



    Here's a picture of a 54 sedan glove box latch, it's probably the same for a Jet.

    Well, after seeing pics, I scrounged through my bag of extra parts and found a tab with a slight bend in it that's only one inch in length and I was thinking there must be another small crossbar plate it screws onto to complete the striker, but it seems what I found must be for something else. Back to the bags of parts!
