    They are only a couple of bucks or so each. I replaced mine last week after breaking one. It was interesting to see that the new one, which was coloured in a light grey plastic, was actually different to the original black one, so I replaced both. If I had only replaced the broken one, it could have meant the glovebox would be out of alignment, as the new clip was deeper than the original.

    My wife broke mine by stuffing in a huge hand bag and trying to close it. Cost $5.00 at Holden for a pack of two, very easy to replace.

    heat what up? The clips are slightly different 2mm-3mm bigger so now glove box rubs on inside of dash board when opening / closing. cheers Phil
