    I've always noticed this in my gp when i'm driving that my glove box light never goes off. I can push the glove box more closed and it will turn off but when I let go it comes back on.

    Is there a fix for this? I have a 1998 grand prix gt.

    I would check for adjustment. It seems to need to be tighten somehwere to snug up more and turn light off. Or check the light switch, it might be able to be adjusted aswell

    Check the part of the door the button pushes on. While there's no adjustment, you could shim the door or button to make the switch work.

    shim it is a good idea. glue a piece of plastic or a coin of some kind to where the door pushes on the switch button.
