1970s Glove box cap (‘75 Eldorado)

[benji808]

Does anyone know how to keep the glove box handle/cap from coming off? I'm considering just throwing some super glue on it and calling it a day...as far as I can tell it stays on just by the post pressing into a small hole.

Thanks!

The handle/knob is attached by some small "clips" at the back of it, and as these are part of the Diecasting, they are easily broken or come loose.

The best way to reattach them is to try and re-bend what is left of the "clips" or as you say, Superglue it back on.

Thanks, Bruce!
I was able to bend the tabs a bit (flathead screwdriver with gentle hammer), and it's holding for now at least. Also tightened up the lock channel/mechanism while I was there.
