    purchased a Prius but my bottom glove box is loose i found the air spring don't know what;s it called but i seem to attach it wrong every attempt to reattach results in a hard position to close fully.

    What am i doing wrong?

    The air spring (if that is what it is called) goes like this

    also, make sure the hinges at the bottom are in all the way. If they are not popped in the door will seem loose.

    There are 2 points where the 'top' end can be attached, IIRC. It needs to be placed in the 'upper' attach point.
