			Its a "glove box" for your registration, sunglasses, etc. It tends to rattle around, catches water and tends to rot out at the bottom. I replaced the bottom of mine with starboard. The lock sucks. I'm sure you can find one just as bad on the web.... In a pinch, a screwdriver turns the whole mechanism. Mine didn't close right all season. I don't keep anything important in there. That has been the object of some daydreaming but it is a low priority

			Pretty sure that the glove box came in handy when I replaced the steering on my 87. No need to remove the whole fiberglass helm like I did on the 91 V 20.
