Quick Gm Glove box lock repair

This tech tip concerns a five minute repaired for a common problem with gm glove box lock. I recently had problem with a GM glove box lox. The metal knob would spin freely, but would not unlatch the glove box latch. The metal knob was spinning on the plug. By inserting a blank key in the plug, I was able to unlatch and open the glove box. To repair the knob, disassemble the plug from the lock by depressing the retainer and removing the plug from the lock. Apply a few drops of six minute Epoxy to the staked rim of the metal knob, then rotate the knob to distribute the Epoxy between the plug and knob. Position the knob on the plug by inserting a blank key in to keyway. After the epoxy has set, insert the plug into the lock using a working key. You will find that this tip also works well on Gm and Chrysler ignition cylinders.
