Cadillac Seville Glove Boxes
The Cadillac Seville is a luxury automobile made by Cadillac from 1975 through 2004. These cars have a glove box inside that provides storage for your vehicles manual and other small items. If your glove box’s lock breaks or the latch stops working, you can get a replacement box and other parts.
What are the parts of a glove box?Before buying an entire replacement glove box, make sure you know what your Cadillac Seville needs. It may only need one of the following replacement parts instead:
- Lock: Glove boxes for the Cadillac Seville feature a door on the front that snaps shut. This door has a lock and comes with a key. Inserting and turning the key both locks and unlocks the glove box. You can get a new lock and/or a new key.
- Light: Though most models have a light inside the glove compartment, the way this light works can vary. Some glove boxes for the Cadillac Seville have a button that you press to turn on the light. Other versions have lights that automatically come on when you open the door.
- Latch assembly: The Cadillac Seville glove box also has a latch assembly. This consists of different parts that keep the glove box assembled and in place inside the dashboard.
- Compartment: Cadillac uses the term compartment and tray to describe the main box. This is the part of the system that holds everything you want to store.
