Thanks to all who provided suggestions on how to handle a glove box door
that falls completely open because the little holding straps failed. I
also received a couple of messages chiding me for not being able to
figure out how to solve such a simple mechanical issue myself. It's true
that I am more comfortable with electrons and wiring than with
mechanical bits, but I also like to hear how others have solved even
simple problems -- the solutions are sometimes very ingenious, sometimes
blindingly obvious, and I always learn something new. Once in a while,
one solution stands out as simply superior. In this case, they were all
good ideas; I ended up using a bit of 3mm nylon cord, craftily knotted.

Fortunately, I keep a copy of The Ashley Book Of Knots (ISBN:
0385040253) for just such an occasion.
