remedies for vibrating glove box lids?

[amalventano1@comcast.net (Allyn)]

poly front and rear shouldnt be too bad. poly rear mount will cause vibration under acceleration
(the front isnt too bad). if the vibration happens when reving the engine at a standstill then that
makes me think that poly rear mount is actually supporting the engine weight (which it isnt supposed
to). the only way that happens is if either side mount is gone/installed upside down or if something
is tweaked/bent somewhere.
