Technical Glovebox and seatbelt alarm

[Grande 360]

Hey guys first post on here so here goes.

I have had my Active 360 for just over a year now and i am now experiencing some problems.

Firstly my glovebox seems to have collapsed on the right side meaning it hangs slightly ajar when closed. I have found lots on the catch breaking but couldnt see anything adressing this issue and would apreciate knowing if its a simple fix or not?

Also my mom has a 1.4 dynamic sport and she has seatbelt warning alarms on both of her front seats. Where as i only have a drivers side one and i was just wondering if this is normal or not as i cant remember it working when i first got the car.

Help would be apreciated. Thnx

The glove box problem is well known on here, I have had words with the dealer about mine but all I get is, thats the way Fiat make them. TBH they should have redesigned them after the first batch of problems.
The warning for the seatbelt is an option under the menu, you can have it on or off, I don't know if its for both though, how does the car know when someone is in the passenger seat ??????

there is a pressure switch in the base of the passenger seat

So is there a way to re align the glovebox or is it just broken?

There is no option to turn it on or off in the menu?

Only if you have had the dealer enable it (generally for people that hold a certificate that allows them to not wear a seatbelt for medical reasons).

Thanks for the replies guys, i found sumthing about the dealer turning the seatbelt warnings off. I cant get ne pics for a while im afraid, basically the right hinge has broken or sliped i assume so the glovebox is lower on the right than the left. its a pain not only cus it looks bad but cus it wont click shut unless i lift the side up and straigten it out before pushing it shut. i spose il try take the glovebox out and see what i can do. has anybody taken there glovebox off and can tell me if its difficult or not?

Just how low is it sitting?

Neither of my GPs gloveboxes has shut flush with the dash.

 

[Grande 360]

Well wen its closed the left side is flush with the dash but the rights aprox 1-2cm out and i can see the rubber things which stop it banging shut.

Sounds about right tbh...
