When I bought the car the glovebox was open and wouldn’t stay closed but I didn’t care as the car is getting a full resto.

    Dash plastic piece warped

    The black plastic decorative dash piece that goes above the glovebox on my 69 charger has a warp in it out towards the drivers side end. Other than that, the piece is good and re useable. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to straighten it back up? I was debating very carefully warming the...
