Upper glove box question

I'm asking a favor. With the upper glove box closed, put your finger under the lip and push up gently. Is there some play? I'm trying to determine if this is a defect or a "feature."

Mine has noticeable play in it but it's not rattling when I go over bumps. So for all I know it may have been designed like this...or maybe I'm just hard of hearing.


Don't want to ask the dealer because you know, I'd like unbiased info.

I didn't think mine would do it, but it does. When I lift up on the upper glovebox, I can move it enough to rattle it, but I haven't noticed it rattling on its own.

I can pull mine up about 1/8 inch. It doesn't rattle. Seems normal to me.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, mine shuts perfectly lined up with the dash but then there is about 1/8 inch play if I push up on it. The fact that it does not rattle on any of our cars so far leads me to believe it's supposed to be that way.
