Wanted - locker catch for fiat/peugot/citroen cab/dash glove box

[fairytooth]

I have been trying for quite some time to locate a locker catch to replace a broken one in my front glove box. I tried the Fiat main dealer who after a lot of searching told me I could only replace the whole locker door (£100) so I didn't buy one obviously.

The catch is a plastic 'C' shape and the end is easily broken off and since the locker door has never fitted properly it was only a question of time before it snapped off.

I feel there must be a supplier somewhere who does such things but I've never found them.

Any help would be most appreciated, thanks.

Sounds like it might be a mini latch. Is this it?

10 X Mini Latch Automatic Spring Catch Kitchen Caravan on eBay!

If so they can ge got from hardware stores such as homebase, camping supply shops, and B&Q.

Hi Viktor, no it isn't. This is the glove box latch as found on any old Fiat Ducato/Peugot Boxer/Citroen Relay.

I'm amazed I can't find one on Ebay or anywhere else.

Thanks for trying!

Try local scrap yards??

do an ebay search for boxer breaking or model of fiat/citroen there are quite a few, then just ask about the part you need.

Stick up a photo Fairytooth and let us all see it. Maybe you might get lucky and someone will know where to get one.

Many thanks. I have left a message with Springfield. Thanks to all for your assistance. Here is a pic of the little blighter:

This is the working catch from the other locker/glove box. The whole assembly comes off after removing 4 screws. The catch is a 'C' shaped plastic bit retained by a spring. I've tried mending it by pinning and glueing but no luck.

Cheers guys.
