The problem

The risk
In the event of an accident, the glove compartment doormay open and result in occupant(s) injuries from contact with the glovecompartment door.
The fix
Replace the current upper glove compartment door with a redesigned upper glove compartment door which incorporates a positive latch to keep the door closed should a vehicle crash occur.
