Look for a thread on how to replace the vac filter. You have to remove the entire glove box to replace and someone may have posted pictures.

 

You remove the glovebox, not the brackets and such for it. The hook on the end of the string pops out of the glovebox, so instructions on replacing the cabin filter won't help the OP figure out how to replace that assembly since it's not touched.

They may be able to pry open where the string goes in, insert the string, and re-clamp it down but I haven't examined that piece up close to know.

 

I've had my glove box door off more than once, last time I left the cable off, it's a pita and does not effect a damn thing.

 

I just looked at mine, it's a simple loop with the crimp keeping the loop in place. Should be a super simple fix. Like this.

Where can I find replacement crimps.

 

Not sure what the tension is on that rope but you could simply try making a new loop and tying back with electrical tape if you can't find a metal crimp. A dab of hot glue or other adhesive on it before taping would give it additional strength. Worth a try.

Edit: Since I have an inquisitive mind due to my profession and am really, really bored this afternoon I unhooked the cable and measured 30 ounces of tension. Now I can sleep well tonight...lol

 

Looks like the DAMPER is one assembly from GM.

I actually was able to pull the clamp off and then loop the string back through and re-clamp it - but - I must have clamped it in the wrong spot as it doesn’t really dampen anything anymore. It’s not a big deal though. For as little as I open the Glove box, I can deal with it.

I was changing my cabin filter for the first time today. I don't even have a damper, no where to be found. I don't care that much but when I go in for my free oil change, I will mention it to the dealer, just to see what they say.

 

Same here, what did they say?

 

I have a 2020 colorado . Glove Box damper is not there.anyone got ideas about this issue?

 

The issue is that the factory did not install the damper at all. Must have been a Friday built colorado.

 

I busted the string loop last time I changed the cabin air filter. I'm gonna have to be really bored before I worry as about fixing it.

 

Me Too!

 

2020 they stopped putting in the damper string all together.

 

Thank God i found this post- i was about to complain to my service guy-2022 Z71 just got recommended in cab airfilter changed this weekend

 

OK thanks. Was any reason given? It certainly has a function. If the glove box door hits my wife one more time in the knee, she will rip it right off the plastic hinges. The local dealership did not say this. They said there was no part number for it.which is not true. GM (23238786). Love the truck, but what else is missing. Thanks.Murph

 

You can no longer receive texts on the 2020

 

Cost cutting from what I read. But maybe one can be added.

 

I’d like to add as well to my 2020 zr2. Dealer told me discontinued for 2020. Just like the texting app. Ugh!!

 

Ignore, poor service and replies didn’t load.

 

Went to change the hvac filter in my 2019 ZR2, my glovebox always slams open. I always thought GM was being.cheap my ZR2 never came with the dampener on the glovebox

 

My 2019 Colorado as all did has it but after putting some stuff in glove box I noticed it wasn't dropping easy any more so thought string broke or something. Took everything out of glove box and opened it and it went down slowly again. So really that damper doesn't do a hell of a lot of anything unless your glove box is empty or just some very light stuff in it or it will open just like there is no damper.

 

My 2019 ZR2 doesn't have it either. It has everything except the NAV upgrade to the Bose system. If you want to add one, the part number appears to be: 23238786

 

What was the build date on your truck?

The build date of my Bison was March 2019 and does have the glovebox damper.

 

damper attaches to Instrument panel 84443630 (2015-2020).
If you are past 2020, (GM84671686 ) you may not have the same provisions to mount the damper.
Im looking to find a rear view of 84443630 to see how that damper is attached.
Everybody is right, that dash is one piece, left to right

a PITA to remove.

There is a big hole where the airbag sits. I would go in through there. But touching an airbag is sketchy, possibly warranty voiding

Can't see where is worthwhile to go through all that b.s. when as I stated in an earlier post if you put stuff in the glovebox it will still drop just like if you didn't have the damper.

 

My 2019 (February 2019 build date) has the damper but it is worthless. It still drops open like it's not there. My string broke as well. Reattached it. No biggie but a worthless design for the Colorado.

 

The thing that boggles my mind, I know it doesn't take much,
there is no glove box light.

 

On the first post, there is a photo. He is holding the clip that the string hooks to. I broke that clip, anyone have a part number for that? I’m having a hard time googling that.
