NEED HELP - Glove Box Latch Re-assembly - ASAP!

Okay, so like an idiot I decided to take off my glove box handle again and paint it because I changed my interior again and the little spring and lever? popped out and I cannot for the life of me figure out how it goes back together.

So now my glove box is being held shut with duct tape and looks ghetto as hell. Really needs to be fixed.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me how this goes back together?

If someone can take pictures of theirs it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thanks for looking and hopefully you can help me out!







Please show me some insight on how to fix this !

 

I'll take some when I go out tonight

 

thanks!

Did anyone ever figure this out? I just did the same thing

 

Nope. Nobody ever figured this one out. Still a mystery...

 

Seems pretty cheap at 25 bucks to replace the entire mechanism.
Still looking

Edit. Here is a 4runner fix. Looks like same glove box as the Tacoma

Did you end up replacing the latch??

I ended up braking mine but i dont know what to do with the metal arm???

 

Never found an answer to this so created an account just to post this. Plastic piece required a little convincing but it clicked in nicely. Hope this helps.

 

You guys are awesome! These springs kick my A** every time!
