458 Glove Box Adjustment

If I recall correctly, the striker can be adjusted fore and aft. Open the glove box, loosen the two retaining screws, adjust the striker by moving it forward a mm or two and re-tighten the screws.

 

interesting to know i am not the only one haha. Mine is loose as well after the dealer replaced the airbag. But the dealer is an hour away and they dont provide loaners, very annoying to fix such a small problem. And I already sent it back to them once to fix the dashboard and floor carpet which isnt fitted properly after the recall. Oh and they ripped my floor carpet as well and claimed I did it.
Anyways, yes, there might be some adjustment available on the strikers but I think it's mostly the bottom hinge of the glove box for the full adjustment. Also if you have any ipod cables dangling out it will affect flush fitment as the design didnt include the ipod extension cable into consideration

 

Funny...my local dealer bottomed out my car. They unscrewed the molding around the front trunk. They did not replace all the screws and left some loose around that trunk area. The trunk open light stop working on my dash because of that. I only went to them because of the recall. My next car I will travel to Algar or central NJ.

 

Sorry to hear of your difficulty. Is your dealer a factory Ferrari dealer? I have been concerned about this happening. There is an FChat member that provides service at a Ferrari dealership and I respect his opinion. Very nice guy. He commented not to worry and it was no big deal that they do lots of them. My experience with panel removal has not been good with any car. What they did to yours is truly unfortunate and I think my personality would have gotten the best of me. Care too much for it and sometimes fear handing the car over for service. Hope everything works out for you as it looks like your almost back to normal. Good luck.

 

Good to know that there are dealers that do not have the abilities nor care about servicing our cars properly. This air bag issue is serious business. I too live in Fl. ,but my Vin has not been called yet. I can't believe they accused you of damaging your carpet. What Dealer did you use? Did you buy your car in Fl.
