What was repaired?

The catch on the glove box in my Transit van doesn't work well enough to keep the glove box closed when you go over a bump or on a motorway, which was pretty annoying for anyone in the passenger seat!

How was it repaired?

I laser cut a custom catch from clear acrylic and screwed this on to the front of the glove box, so that it stopped the glove box door dropping down when it fell open

Why was it repaired?

To save the knees of my passengers from bruises and prevent stuff from falling out of the glove box!

Why is repair important?

Makes life a bit less annoying if things work properly!
