Abstract
A glove box door latching assembly comprises a latching mechanism including three plastic molded parts and a spring. The mechanism includes an offset latch member which allows positioning of the mechanism closely adjacent a longitudinal end of a glove box door. The assembly also includes a lock tube formed integrally therewith for receiving a locking mechanism. The lock tube is flush with the front face of the mechanism to allow the lock tube to be covered by the glove box door if the locking feature is not desired. The universal latch assembly design is widely applicable to various glove box door assemblies.
