I have a 1967 dodge dart that recently inherited a gen 3 Hemi. The style of glove box in these cars does not seem to have a latch. It uses a weak magnet. What's the best solution?
unfortunately not. it just has a hinge and a springI thought 67 Dart used this kind of latch assembly.

Push button with a tab that retracted when the button was pushed.
There is a spring loaded bar that the tab hooks into when the lid is closed.This bar is adjustable.
sounds like a sweet car! the problem in my case is that I already have a custom facia on the current cover. I really want to stick with it.That's not a glove box cover but a Performance Indicator. My first Barracuda was a 1967 4 speed 273 Commando. I knew I threw a good 1-2 shift when the door opened and even better when junk flew out.
IIRC, it did not have a magnet but a spring loaded hinge. My current 68 has the push-button catch. Maybe you could find a 68-69 lid or just add a magnetic catch from the hardware store.
thats pretty sweet! what do you have under the hood in that cuda?My 66 Barracuda race car had the same type of spring loaded glove box door. I used to throw all of my old time tickets into the glove box. Once on a run, the car hooked hard, the door popped open, and I was showered with little pieces of paper. Scared the sh*t out of me until I realized what had happened.

It was a 340, but that was over 40 years agothats pretty sweet! what do you have under the hood in that cuda?
Post some photos of your door and your hinges.Yeah, I figured he would have to find another glovebox door... that seemed like the easiest way to do it.
Ahhhhh....The memories.That's not a glove box cover but a Performance Indicator
Simple answer, VELCRO!I have a 1967 dodge dart that recently inherited a gen 3 Hemi. The style of glove box in these cars does not seem to have a latch. It uses a weak magnet. What's the best solution?
The 67 is a one year only hinge design.
No magnet.
It has a spring on the hinge to keep it closed. If the spring is not there it will fall open.

You can buy the parts to make it locking.

hello, thanks for reaching out! I think I would be most interested in the locking door. Any ideas on where to get a key? Also please tell me more about your car!I have a spare set of hinges for the 67 model year and a door that is not drilled for the trim.I also know where a door with the trim and has the locking handle but no key if that helps you out if you are still looking
