Your glove box might be warped ......... mine is.
I adjusted the top latch and it stays closed but still hangs out on the
right side 1/2".
I always close my sliding door by closing the door almost all the way and
then I press on the back edge of the door to snap it completely closed.
This also saves your sliding door handle from all that force. It does
sound like the read latch isn't snapping into place so investigate that
first. There is a release cable between the front and rear latches on the
door, its adjustable when you remove your door panel.
