It keeps the glove compartment from slamming down when you open it. It attaches on the right hand side.

 

Wow, that was fast. Thanks!!

 

Mine came off to from where it hooks onto the truck cause the teeth werent strong enough anymore to hold it in place so it kept slipping off. Its on there better now thought but it was def annoying when it kept popping off.

 

damn. I guess you learn something new everyday. 5 years and 2 tacomas and I never knew I had this on there. I legit walked out to my truck to see if it was there and it didn't slam... I guess I never let the glove box drop

 

Its kind of hard to see cause its hidden but if you look at it right its there haha.

 

yeah I saw it after lol. Nice feature I guess... I wonder if my wife's Rav4 has one...

 

Mine has fallen off also.

I ended up putting a screw (with a big head) inbetween the plastic nubs.

 

Most likely.

 

Be sure that the little ears aren't broken off that stick out of the glove box where it attaches. Oil change techs have to remove that to check your cabin air filter, that's usually when you have a problem with it.
