Abstract: This invention offers advantages and alternatives over the prior art by providing a glove box including a door latch assembly which is self-contained and latches within itself eliminating the need for a striker and therefore reduces the stack-up disadvantages associated with the prior art. In an exemplary embodiment, the glove box according to the present invention generally includes a storage bin, a glove box door base portion, a glove box door outer cover, and a latch assembly. The latch assembly generally includes a handle, a connector plate, and a pair of latch arms, all of which cooperate with one another. Generally, the latch arms keep the glove box door latched by penetrating the storage bin through openings formed on side of the storage bin and openings formed in the glove box door base portion. The glove box door of the present invention has a number of integral molded features which guide the latch arms laterally, up and down, and forward and backward during operation thereof.
