You
have got to commend Jaguar for coming up with a simple method of limiting
the travel of the XJ-40 glove box door. Two check arms are attached to the
door; they slide through grommets that keep the door aligned and limit its
travel. The problem is that the grommets harden over time and ultimately
break apart and fall out, allowing the door to flop down past level. The
solution is a quick and easy replacement of the grommets, which push into
place. Give them a periodic shot of silicone spray to keep the check arms
sliding smoothly. Two required per car. To purchase this part, search
for part number JA-BEC18266.
