I need help Re-installing latch onto glove box. (with pics)

I have an 01 Tacoma and recently the latch on the glove compartment door broke and I was able to get it fixed.

I want to reinstall the latch but also I have these two other pieces that came with it when I took it off the glove box. A little metal spring and another plastic piece (as photographed)

I don't want to mess up putting these back together. Does anyone know what these extra parts are for and how I install with with the latch assembly?





Thank you

Found a picture of an assembled one like yours. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for that info but I think this is a photo of it without the screw and plastic piece. I have examined mine closely and it seem like these pieces fit somewhere just on on the outside of the latch but in the glove compartment. I don't think those extra pieces go inside the latch mechanism because it looks like its complete without them, it already has a spring inside and looks intact.

Hopefully someone in addition might have an idea to confirm this.... it may be something I have to go try to go put back in place now that I have had it fixed.

Thank you

No, that picture shows the plastic piece, at the top of the handle is that plastic piece right?

 

Yes thats it.. Thank you makes perfect since once I looked up at the top of the assembly. The spring slides right into the top then the plastic piece over that.

Perfect


Thank you
