Installation notes
The striker plate is mounted with one screw to the dashboard, directly above the glove box opening. When using thick felt strips, adjustment of the plate may be necessary for proper closure. The striker plate works together with the push-button latch on the glove box door (from April 1942 on GPW, from March 1942 on MB).
Compatibility
Fits vehicles with push-button latch on the glove box. Not for early vehicles with key lock on the glove box door (before March-April 1942). Installation requires a hole in the dashboard above the glove box opening.
Historical context
From March-April 1942, both Willys and Ford replaced the glove box door with key lock with a simpler push-button latch, which required this striker plate on the dashboard.
