Got my first ever Mini, a 2003 Cooper. just before Christmas (despite growing up car crazy in the UK). On the way home the glove box lid fell down at every major bump I came across. The amazing thing is that the only other Mini I ever drove was a 1972ish Mini Clubman my mum had in the UK and the glove box lid always seemed to fall down on that too. A nostalgia design piece by BMW perhaps, just like the whine in reverse, but it's starting to get on my nerves and I can only think about my dearly departed mum so many times in one day.
Is there an easy fix for this? I've briefly looked at it and it looks like there is no room for adjusting anything.
Thanks, Tim
