Source 14: Another knocking style noise from glovebox area
Cause: This took me a while... The glovebox hangs by 1 strap on the left and one damper (Glovebox damper on realoem) on the right with 2 pins. It seems that there is excessive play between the damper and the glovebox especially once closed. The damper can move a few mm up/down because the hole in the glovebox is too big for the pin.
Solution: I took the glovebox off, closed the hole that the pin inserts with high strength epoxy glue, let it dry, and re-drilled it but with smaller diameter hole this time. The lock pin now inserts in place but does not allow movement at all.
