I have repainted my dash and tried installing the glove box door only to scratch it again. How are you supposed to get this door adjusted properly? It is wedged tight against the top near the dash pad and hits way to tight along the bottom. Just looking for some help with properly adjustments so I can actually open the glove box door without having to break out a screw driver and pry it open. Ugghhh.

Loosen all the screws on the hinge and pull back on the door then tighten down . At the top loosen the stricker in the dash and pull it back and tighten
