ABSTRACT:
An instrument panel assembly for an automotive vehicle provides connection between an instrument panel and a glovebox so that the glovebox has a separate mating reference between moving parts independent of the instrument panel. The instrument panel is mounted to a cross-car beam in the vehicle and has a glovebox opening with a frame mating surface therearound. The glovebox has a frame and a door. The frame is attached adjacent the frame mating surface, and has a first integrally formed half-hinge. The door, which pivots to alternately cover and uncover the glovebox opening, has a second integrally formed half-hinge. The frame and the door are connected at the respective half-hinges to provide a mating reference therebetween independent of the instrument panel.
