SUBJECT: GLOVE BOX DOOR BINDS OR IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN

MODELS AFFECTED: 1987-1992 ALLANTES


Some 1987-1992 Allantes may experience a condition where the glove box door binds or is difficult to open. This may be caused by the glove box release handle contacting the glove box cover and not allowing the release handle to travel far enough to release the lock rods.

To repair this condition use the following procedure:

1. Remove the glove box door trim pad using the appropriate Allante Service Information Manual.

Figure 1:

2. Using a soft top quarter glass shim, P/N 1638640, cut two shims to the size of the lower jaw (refer to Figure 1) and bond the shim to the right and left side with Loctite 401 or equivalent.


3. Reinstall glove box door trim pad. Verify glove box door release operation. If condition is not corrected, repeat the above procedure and add an additional shim.

Parts are currently available through GMSPO.
