not the usual glove box problem

Hi, everyone. I have a problem: the lid on my upper glove box is misaligned. It doesn't rattle, but the left side edge is out of alignment by maybe an eighth of an inch. It looks pretty awful.

Is there a way to adjust the lid?

Pop the glove box out, and put it back in. If that doesn't fix it, take it to the dealer and have them fix it.

Keep your eyes on the road and you won't notice it. I want to hear the dealers response on this one.

I have same issue! Was wondering if it was just me. But if you look from the driver's seat, the seam line between radio bezel and upper glove box is like 1/8" off...you can correct by pulling up on lover left corner of glove box a bit and looks great - let go and falls back down.

I have some thought on how to fix this and may be through a simple re-alignment of removing lid and adjusting the mounting from there with some added pressure to the left.

Most car manufacturers allow some adjustment with doors, etc...we'll see if Honda has thought the same here.

I also know that when I popped off my radio bezel; and put it back, the bezel is no longer sealed like it was on the dash - a slight 1/8" gap is now showing on the left side - near Heater/AC controls. It is seated down as far as it will go.

I hate the fact that most manufacturers are using plastic clips to keep our cars together. It seems like they always break no matter how careful you are. Nothing almost ever goes back together and still looks like it was when you first bought it.
