I've had cars before where a certain amount of lock is needed and perhaps this is a trait of Zeds but it's a potentially dangerous problem for me :( Today, with hood down on a 60mph road I passed the entranc...

I can't get the top storage box between the seat backs to lock?

The key fits and works in the glovebox and the lock rotates exactly the same but does not open the back box.
