Glove box falls open instead of opening slowly

Mounted behind the glovebox is a damper assembly. It's a one inch diameter plastic tube that is about five inches long. Inside is a plastic piston with a string tied to it. Next to the piston is a spring. The string runs through the middle of the spring, out the end of the tube and then turns forward and attaches to the right side of the glove box. Either your string broke, it became detached from the glovebox or maybe the plug/end of the damper came off and the spring came out. Pull the panel out from below the glovebox and have a look.

Jaguar Glove box flops open, how to repair
video on you tube:
Also, best material is 80 lb test Siderwire Zilla Braid for monster fish, it's not wire, it looks like braided nylon fishing line, and it's made of Cordura nylon fibers reinforced with Dyneema fibers. It is about the same diameter and flexibility as the original material.
