glove box clips may need replacing

Is the glove box up high on the dash? As in exposed to heat from the sun through the front window?

If so it could be warping or perhaps even a adhesive letting go from heat.

Some European car manufactures tent to overlook there are other country's that have intense sun with little cloud cover filtration and hot ambient temperatures. Though I thought that kind of nonsense was ironed out years ago.

It is a very attractive looking interior. I hope they sort it out for you without a fuss.

If it turns out to be heat related and they do replace it. It might pay to place a towel or something over it if and when the car is parked in the sun to avoid it happening again.
