Locking Glove Compartment
I did a search, however was unable to find anything remotely related. Has anyone found a way to install a lock for the glove compartment in a 09 cobalt ss/tc? I have my CPL and it would be really nice if I could lock the clip/ammo in it when I go out to dinner etc.

Assuming they got through your locked door without setting off the alarm, the three extra seconds its going to take to bust the glove box off won't make any difference.
Want it locked out of sight? Try the trunk

OK i'm gonna go on a limb here and say there was never a lock option for our gloveboxes. perhaps it uses a similar mechanism as other chevy vehicles and you could swap out the handles or something? but... is it worth it? up to you.

I guess your thieves are neater. When they stole the radio out if my crx they tore the centre dash section out with a crowbar or something rather than take the time to undo stuff. After breaking the window I guess they weren't too worked about making noise
Pretty sure a locked glove box might have piqued their interest.

Does everyone in the US just carry guns around all the time????
Thats a scary thought. Next time I visit, maybe I'll get a gun so I can ward off a robber with a gun trying to steal my gun.

also if you look statistically most of the major cities that have bans on guns have higher rates of crime. afterall if you were a criminal and you know people can't have a gun, what you got to worry about? Bad people will do bad things reguardless. they will always find a method and taking guns away from law abiding citizens solves what exactly? criminals will still aquire them. sorry about the rant. ive had my ccl for 7 years now and have never had to use it, however i want to have the ability to protect my family should the need arrise. I did not get my ccl with the thought of oh goodie oh goodie i get to carry a gun around, that would be pointless because it is a concealed carry which means if anyone sees you have it you get in trouble.

u guys all realize the OP has yet to reply so theres a good chance he has determined all replies up to this point are useless and stupid (i would concur and include my own comments in said statement)
I can understand why a comment like that can get to you but at the same time reading thru the thread and seeing absolutely nothing of value i wouldnt expect comment 16 to all of a sudden be serious, especially with the xibit troll pic at the end

Wish we had a bigger console....

a second idea is to get a luggage box and bolt it through the floor under the passenger seat. my uncle did this and had great success. Unless they want to climb under the car or cut it out, they are out of luck.
Something like this just thinner?

No problem man. I invision a small suitcase looking box that has 90 degree flanges welded to the bottom. You could sink a bolt through the floor like the acutal seat does. Then all you have to do is move the passenger seat forward and pop the case open to access what you need. Same could be done for the driver side if you needed a lot of "storage"

if it is not possible to lock the console, I'm guessing there would be a way to mount a lock box under the drivers/passenger seat. It would be concealed and lockable. Plus you could just use existing holes (seat rails) to mount the box to.
