I consider myself an obesrvant person, but holy hell, a month or so ago my friend told me to leave the windows down in a lot, and i was like "not with my radar detector in the car" and hes like "put it in the glove box and lock it", and i was like "it doesnt lock", and he grabbed my keys, and to my amazment, put them in under the glove box handle and locked it.

Ive had the car for like almost two years, detail it constantly, and JUST noticed the glove box locked.


Sweet jesus :rolleyes:

I know they do...even noticed it right away....used it a couple times as well - but now I rarely use it because I forget it exists....not because I don't "know" it locks... I remember just reading a thread about this yesterday though, so I know you're not alone ;)

wtf, it seriously locks, eh?

the proof is in the pictures. I demand them.

Must be the way the glovebox is angled.

My light was always on. It bugged me at night, I could see the light coming out of the cracks. So I yanked the bulb.

Yea, you just use the door key, and its right under the handle. The way its angled tho, unless you are like laying under the dash, on the passanger side, 69ing with your girlfriend, you wont find it.

I frequently use the lock on my glove box.

I also have noticed that the light in the glove box never went out - so I took it out.

The light in the glovebox NEVER goes out? Even when you close it? I have never seen light coming from there...

There's a switch but the glove box has to close perfectly for it to hit.
