ABSTRACT:
A modular glovebox assembly for an automotive vehicle having an instrument panel mounted therein is constructed so as to provide a mating reference between a striker and a latch independent of the instrument panel. The glovebox assembly has a frame with a first integrally formed half-hinge along a frame hinge edge, the frame defining a frame opening. A door for alternately covering and uncovering the frame opening has a second integrally formed half-hinge along a door hinge edge. The frame portion and the door portion are connected at the respective half-hinges to provide a mating reference between the door portion and the frame portion independent of the vehicle instrument panel. The latch is attached to the door, and the striker is attached to the frame for latching cooperation with the latch when the door is moved to a closed position.
