My car had this issue before where the glove compartment wouldn't close properly, which was quite bothersome. The most common reasons are either items inside not being properly placed and getting stuck at the opening, or rust on the hinges preventing the door from fully closing. You can start by opening the glove box and carefully checking if there are any obstructions like plastic bags or tissues blocking it, then clean it out and try again. If that doesn't work, apply some lubricating oil to the hinges and manually work them a few times to let the oil seep in. If the hinges are deformed or the spring is loose, you might need to take it to a repair shop. Usually, avoid stuffing too many things inside when parking, keeping the glove box tidy can help prevent this issue. I solved it this way myself, it doesn't take much time, but don't delay too long to avoid items flying out when driving, which could be a safety hazard. As the car ages, parts will naturally wear out, so timely maintenance is key.
