Does anyone  have a part number for the glove box door spring? Called my local MD dealer and we were unable to find it.
Thank you

I found a good replacement at the local Ace Hardware.  Works just right.  The original had been bent thus would not function properly.

I too went to a couple of the local parts places, (Sears, NAPA, etc.) and found a generic spring that worked just right.

I made a "redneck fix" - put a tube around the bent spring and affixed it with isolation tape :-) Nobody can see this and it works OK.

Fine, fine, calm down, I am going to buy the new spring shortly... :-)
