Original Abstract Submitted

An instrument panel for a vehicle includes a glovebox aperture and a glovebox assembly. The glovebox aperture is defined by the instrument panel. A perimeter of the glovebox aperture defines an actuation surface and a latch aperture such that the actuation surface and the latch aperture are unitarily formed with the instrument panel. The glovebox assembly includes a storage compartment and a latch assembly. The glovebox assembly is received within the glovebox aperture. The glovebox assembly is operable between a stowed position and a deployed position relative to the glovebox aperture. The latch assembly includes a latch that is configured to be received within the latch aperture when the glovebox assembly is in the stowed position.
