    Looks like something bought at a retailer like Wal-Mart or Kmart.

    You also have the rare aftermarket (not Ford) glove box door.

    Mercury is Ford. Ford owns Mercury.

    No...I mean aftermarket.

    Do a search on this forum...there is a thread or two about that particular glove box door.

    Those pull straps look like Aftermarket GM replacements. Check the help section at the auto parts store.
