  • Retention features for vehicular gloveboxes
    Patent number: 10266127
    Abstract: A vehicular glovebox module, a vehicular glovebox assembly and a method of installing a glovebox module in a vehicle. Mounting apparatus used to secure the glovebox module includes structure to allow a snap-fit engagement of the module to a vehicular support structure. In particular, because the surfaces of the vehicular support structure are not coplanar with one another, at least one of upper and lower retention posts that include snap-fit must provide its snap-fit connection with angled features relative to an installation direction to ensure that the engagement between both the upper and snap-fit connections take place substantially simultaneously during glovebox module installation.
