Hi--

I have a 1985 Accord with a glovebox that no longer opens and closes
correctly. It tends to be partially open, one slams it shut, and then it
invariably pops open. Annoying. It appears that there is/are cloth-like
material that keeps it hanging on. Not having another Accord-my own or
someone else's-to look at, I wonder if I'm missing a part(s) or if I should
opt for outright replacement, and if the latter, where would be the best
place(s) to get a replacement??? Thanks.

The latch is probably not working or needs adjustment. Check it.
