    What part have you broken? The 2 clips that the lid hinges on are available as spare parts.

    Or did you actually bust the two hinge pins that are moulded into the glovebox lid?

    Yeah not sure how you break a VZ glovebox?? All I can think of in the actual base hinges, and you'd have to be giving it a real good pounding to do that. The 2 side clips are rubber, and aside from being flexible (therefore not prone to breaking) they are, as Calaber mentions, replicable.

    My mate broke his in his vz, someone ran up his ass and im the heat of the moment he slammed his glove box after getting something out and snapped it hahaha. Ebay maybe or wreckers. Rare Spares prob wont have them, hence being called rare spares.

    Very common fault with VY's and VZ's. A modified lid was introduced to address this problem during VY production but it obviously didn't do the trick. I don't think there is anything you can do if the mis-fit is really noticeable. You can adjust the glove box catch to pull the lid further into the dash - that might help.
