I have the same glove box misalignment problem. I didn't notice it at first until it started to rattle. I took the car to the dealer and they said they have put some foam pad to stop the rattle. However, the misalignment is still quite noticeable. Recently the rattling noise is back and the misalignment has become an eye soar. These dealer visits are becoming a little annoying.

The glove box does not properly line up with the angle of the cockpit on the RH side. It looks as if the glove box "sags" on the RH side. I was told by the dealer that the glove box has no adjustment to even it out and that all 2008 coupes have this problem. I find this a little hard to believe. I was told that the older model Accords had an adjustment for this, but the facelift '08 and later models do not...very big design flaw if you ask me. I didn't notice the problem until after I had my car in for warranty work on another issue where they had to dis-assemble my dash to try and figure it out...that problem has not been fixed yet either. So, I'm not sure if this was caused by dis assembly or if it was already there. I was told that there is no solution for this eye sore. I'm sure there will be no recall since it is not safety related. We need more complaints to Honda Motor America to get this fixed.

Once cool weather sets in the mismatch between the glove box and the surrounding cockpit becomes evident. The glove box squeaks incessantly with every road ripple. Worse as the temperature dips. Cold winter last year; car squeaked endlessly.
Multiple issues with this coupe.
Honda's reputation is soooo BOGUS.
