Default Glove box door problem

Hello,

I have an 88 245 DL with a glove box door that seems to be coming apart.

It appears that these are in 2 pieces, and somehow attached to each other. How they are attached, I cannot seem to figure out, but my guess would be some fasteners under the plastic horizontal trim piece that goes across the front of the door. Every piece of trim I look at too hard, seems to break, so I thought I would ask first.

Thanks for any help.

Scott

the whole face of the door is glued to the inside piece. don't mess with the trim strip at all, thats purely cosmetic. I repaired our 240 glovebox with gorilla snot--err--3M Weatherstrip Adhesive. I pulled the door front completely off, scraped off most of the old glue, applied a fat squiggle of new glue all over (but not too close to the edges), and pressed it on, then clamped it with a pair of plastic jaw cabinet clamps but not /too/ tightly. cure overnight, remove clamps, 10 years later, its still attached.
