    Where can I find a replacement handle for my glove box on a 2008 model? One of the side "posts/snap/whatever it is called broke...the only way to open the glove box is to move the latch by finger. I know this sounds a little confusing, but not sure how to explain it... Thanks in advance!

    That sounds like a one piece assembly- you will probably have to order or get a whole new glovebox. Maybe check your local junk yards?

    Thanks. I was hoping not to have to get a new glove box because all I need is the little handle that you lift up to open the glove box.

    Thanks again! I found the part really cheap online at this place: www.toyotapartszone.com/

    They also had oil filters (for the 6 cyl models, IIRC yzzd3) for $3 and change so I picked up a few...
