I'm trying to align my glove box so it is aligned properly from the front when the door is open (and that I don't see the cardboard like material. However, I can not find a suitable way to support the glove box itself? I see in the manuals a read bracket, but mine is a long way from the firewall...

How do others mount? Photos appreciated...

Doesn't mount to the firewall. It picks up one of the holes in the RH dashboard support bracket.
The aftermarket glove box I bought had a bracket with a stud riveted onto the left lower corner of the
box which pretty much lined up with the hole in the dashboard support bracket. Yours doesn't
have that??

No brackets are mounted on the box... Thanks, I'll look into more. It's the right side of the glove box that is hanging down. The side close to the passenger door. Any others have a photo of what is supposed to look like?
 
I think the bracket comes separately, at least TRF has a cubby mounting kit that includes the bracket.

In addition to the std mounting, I added an aluminum bar underneath the glove box running side to side, finding existing holes to tie in to. I found that a little weight in the cubby would pull the fiber-box down a little and my method provides the additional support required to keep it in place. And it doesn't show unless your head is under the dash.
 
Thanks all, I ended up ordering a new fiberboard glove box from TRF, with the proper mounting kit. also, will try the aluminum bar idea also, as I drive the old one kept sagging... Thanks,
 
I bought a new glove box from TRF several years ago. I haven't experienced any sagging with the stock brackets, as the new box material is very stiff.
