Glove Box Problems on Mercedes-Benz W220 S-Class

One common problem with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class’s glove box is that over time, the glove box itself or the glove box door may become loose.

To address this problem tighten the glove box screws. Adjust the rubber that keeps the door from shaking. The two rubber pieces have screws in the center that you can adjust.
