Glove Box Light Fixed

My Glove Box Light stopped working or never worked in my 08 9-3 SC.
Took it apart.
Has a hammer and anvil type set up which completes the circuit when hammer is on anvil (when door is open).
The problem was that the hammer was not contacting the anvil.
I removed the anvil. It has a little tongue piece in the center which holds it in place.
I then bent the tongue piece forward, towards the anvil so it would make better contact when the two pieces of metal came together.
I then used a glue gun to keep the anvil in place (now that the tongue is not doing that job).
The hammer makes contact with the tongue and all is well.
I put my cell on video mode and put it in the glove box to check that the light actually does turn off when the door is closed, it worked!
Hope this helps someone.
