Dorman 74364 - Cierre de guantera compatible con modelos seleccionados Cadillac/Chevrolet/GMC

Drilled out the plastic behind the screws on the old latch inside the glove box for easy access. Enlarged the hole for the metal arm slightly on the new latch. Most people are breaking it bc it’s a tight fit on the metal arm. Total install took about 15 mins and works fine. Not as crisp as oem but better than the needle nose pliers I was using to open it. Also reused oem screws. Covered the drilled screw holes with black gorilla tape. It’s fine, and no one will ever see it but you. Sure beats drilling out ~20 rivets. Will also make future repairs easier. I didn’t even have to remove the glove box. Just push the tabs on the outer edges of the glove box toward the center and it’ll fold flat enough for the repair. Took off a star bc I had to enlarge the hole.

Not worth anything. I would write "not worth poop" but atleast poop can be used for fertilizer.This is garbage. Went to install, the lever that attaches to the metal bar just fell off, not enough flange on the rivet to hold it into place. I tried to flare it out more to buy some time until I can get another one coming. So I go to use the screws to mount the black plastic back together, the screw where to small for the ols rivet holes, and there wasn't enough. Get it back together and close the glove box, then darn new latch broke.Don't waste your time.

No viene con instrucciones y tienes que modificar la guantera para calzarlo. La calidad aceptable.tienes que recurrir a youtube en ingles para averiguar como instalarlo. Con instrucciones y un simple trozo de papel podrían solucionar el tener que estar adivinando donde perforar para localizar los tornillos de sujeción.

Summary: Part works great for my 2003 Suburban, but there are no directions. I provide here *my* installation procedure:(Big thank you to other reviewers, in particular "Hyway Harris," whose instructions were very helpful to me.)With tools and parts all prepared, the process should take 30-60 minutes.Prerequisites:You will need:* Plastic safety glasses* This replacement part (Dornan 74364)* A drill with a 3/16" bit (cordless makes this easier, but not required)* A 9/32" or 7mm socket with accompanying ratchet or driver handler* At least seven (7) 3/16" x 1/4" blind rivets and accompanying "pop rivet" gun(these are 3/16" shaft & 1/4" "grab" blind rivets. I recommend aluminum.)* A medium-size Phillips screwdriverOther tools I used:* Dremel tool with 1/4" tapered cutting bit for plastic* Small "pick" tool with 90 degree tip* A tack hammer and a small punch (or nail)* Small shop vacuum (for aluminum and plastic cuttings)* A few sheets of newspaper to catch cuttingsSpecial note about removing the rivets: As described by others, do NOT drill all the way into the rivet. I simply drilled into the existing rivets 2-3 mm and then angled the drill so that the bit was about 30 degrees off perpendicular. I then rotated the drill so that the bit would cut further into the sides of the rivet head, thereby cutting the rivet head from the shaft.Procedure:A) Glove box removal1) Open glove box, remove contents. Place contents in safe place where wind won't blow papers away.2) Remove small bulb, set aside3) Close glove box4) Place newspaper in footwell to catch aluminum cuttings5) With drill and 3/16" bit, carefully drill into the rivets which help secure the glove box in place, until the rivet heads are cut off.6) Use 7mm (or 9.32) socket to remove the three small bolts which also hold the glove box in place.7) With the bolts and rivets removed, the glove box will easily come free. (You may need to gently press the catch on the right side of the glove box.)B) Glove Box Door Disassembly1) On a sturdy surface (not the kitchen counter where your better 2/3 is making lunch), lay down a few sheets of newspaper and place the glove box, latch face down2) Using the drill, remove the seven (7) rivets which secure the "box" to the "door". Do NOT drill the rivets which hold the hinge to the "door".3) After removing the rivets, the plastic "box" will easily come free, exposing the door latch assembly.4) With the tack hammer, use a punch or nail (or drill bit) to knock the seven rivet "stumps" out of the holes and into the door. This clears the holes for the replacement rivets and turns the glove box door into a giant baby's rattle.4) Pro Tip: Use the newspaper and shop vac to clean up the aluminum cuttings. Do not use your hands.5) If you are so inclined, you may use a garden hose to clean dust and grime from the "box". Do NOT use your kitchen sink, where your better 2/3 is cleaning up from lunch.C) Glove Box Latch Removal1) Remove the four (4) screws which secure the noisy, malfunctioning, swear-worthy latch to the door. Set these screws aside for re-use.2) Before attempting to detach the linkage rod from the latch mechanism, you will need to maneuver the old latch through the mounting hole from "front" to "back". While this may seem impossible at first, I found that the oddly shaped hole was sufficient; with a bit of pushing and twisting I was able to pop the latch assembly free.3) Remove the linkage rod from the latch assembly. (There was enough friction between the plastic and metal that it did not easily slip off, but with a bit of "english" it came apart as I wanted, and not as a RUD.)4) You will have noticed during this step that the rivet stumps within the door are making a lot of noise, and will thus be motivated to proceed to Step D.D) Rivet Stump Removal1) Towards the bottom left of the door, there is a convenient spot where you can make a sizable hole without affecting the integrity or appearance of the glove box door. Use the dremel tool to cut a hole in the plastic. (See picture)2) Pro Tip: do not do dremel work on the dining table. It's not worth it.2) Using the shop vac, the pick tool (also visible in picture), a small amount of shaking and tilting of the glove box door and a bit of patience, remove the rivet stumps.3) With the glove box door now silent and empty of loose things, use the shop vac to clean up the plastic cuttings.Congratulations! You are now ready to put everything back together.E) Glove Box Latch Replacement1) Attach the linkage rod to the new latch assembly.2) Using approximately reverse gyrations from removal, replace the latch assembly by maneuvering the new latch through the hole from "back" to "front". Be firm, but gentle.3) Align the latch in the proper position and use the original four (4) screws to secure the latch in place.4) Test that the latch is rattle-free and operates as expected.5) If the latch seems "loose," double-check that the actual door latch component (the "grabbers" in the top center of the door) are in the locked ("door closed") position. Chances are the latch is in the "door open" position.5) If you feel so inclined, others have applied a small dab of molybdenum grease to the sliding latch assembly. (I did not.)F) Mating of the Box and Door1) With the door latch-side down on your work surface, place the "box" portion on the back of the door.2) Insert the seven (7) 3/16" x 1/4" rivets into the appropriate holes to properly align the box and door.3) With the pop-rivet tool, secure each rivet.G) Glove Box Replacement1) Return to the vehicle.2) Double-check that your important papers did not blow away in the wind.3) Replace the glove box door, in approximately reverse order of removal.4) Replacement of old rivets is not necessary; the three (3) 7mm bolts will be fine.5) Verify the glove box opens and closes properly.6) Replace the small light bulb which was removed in step (A).7) Emplace important papers back in glove box.H) Clean Up1) Throw away trash.2) Clean up work area with shop vac.3) Go for a short drive and enjoy the now-silent glove box latch.4) Pro Tip: Take your significant other on this test drive, and maybe take her to dinner.Hope this helps y'all!

I was happy to find this, it worked fine at the end

Muy fácil instalar, con ayuda de YouTube. Funciona perfecto. Excelente choice.

The latch looks like a direct replacement for the factory GM crap. I sent an email to Dorman motor products 2 weeks before I ever ordered this latch to get some possible instructions or? a video link. I have yet to receive ANYTHING from them.Ordered the part thinking surely there will be instructions in the box with the part (LMFAO) Again I'm on my own. Finally called Dorman and the tech made it sound like I was an ass because I couldn't read minds. Not that I couldn't/can't figure this out but? when the tech tells me to just "knock" the plastic rivets off and "crack" the assembly open? I knew I was dealing with an elite pencil pusher that had never installed this latch let alone ever had a real latch in his hand.I hate being a product crash test dummy but? No other a choice at this point.*UPDATE Sept. 13, 2020 - after waiting forever for some type of response or instructions from Dorman, I took it upon myself to just do the latch repair. There are (three) 7mm screws at the bottom of the glove box door and (two) rivets that will have to be drilled out (3/16" drill bit) so you can remove the glove box door assembly. Once removed, there are (seven) rivets inside that will have to be drilled out so you can separate the actual plastic door from the inner plastic holder. Again a (3/16") drill bit was used and a (1/4") drill bit to make the final cuts on the rivet heads to get them to separate. NOTE - lite pressure while drilling, you do NOT want to drill thru the outside of the glove box door or? make the original rivet holes any bigger. SIDE NOTE - when you drill all the rivets out, the inner pieces will fall inside of the plastic glove box door. If you don't care about nine rivet pieces bouncing around inside the door, making noise when you open the door or while going down the road? omit this next step but? it you hate rattles and mystery noises like I do? I drilled (two) 1/4" holes, 1" apart at the bottom of the inner side of the glove box door and used my Dremel tool to elongate the two holes into one. This allowed me to get ALL rivet pieces out and a good vacuum or shop vac will speed up this step.Once these two pieces are separated, you will see (four) screws that hold the original latch in place. Remove these and save them because you WILL be using them again. After fiddling with the latch and trying to remove it off the actuator rod (linkage) I came to the conclusion that the lock mechanism itself (in my case) would have to be removed as well. Drill out (two) more rivets holding the lock mechanism in place. NOTE - this repair kit comes with (seven) replacement screws to put the glove box door and inner liner back together. Dorman should include (two) more for a total of (nine) to hold the lock mechanism back in place as well.Now that you have the latch and lock assembly out, you can remove the old latch and install the new one. NOTE - The Dorman latch has a hole for the actuator rod to go into however? mine had plastic flash over the hole which would have made putting these two pieces together impossible. Clean the hole with a drill bit no bigger than the actuator rod itself! Slide the lock mechanism and actuator rod thru the latch opening, use the (four) saved screws to attach the new latch to the glove box door. NOTE - The lock mechanism is made of aluminum, the two holes that got thru lock mechanism will have to be enlarged ever so slightly so the sheet metal screws will pass thru the aluminum freely but still bite into the plastic glove box door. DO NOT ENLAGE ANY OF THE HOLES IN THE PLASTIC GLOVE BOX DOOR. Only in the aluminum lock mechanism itself. I used a Dremel tool and the smallest de-burring bit I had to remove just enough material so the sheet metal screws would pass thru cleanly.With the new latch in place and the lock mechanism re-attached, I put a small amount of white lube on the lock mechanism that slides/ locks/unlocks the glove box door. I used the remaining (five) sheet metal screws around the outside perimeter of the glove box door and will get (two) more #12 sheet metal screws to complete the repair. I also put a dab of E-6000 glue on each original rivet hole to help hold the two plastic pieces that make up the glove box door assembly just for extra measure.As simple as "they say" this repair is? just take your time and think ahead. The repair will come out better than factory!
