Please help: Is my glovebox messed up?

Hi all,

It's hot here, so I went to put a drink in my cool glovebox, reached in to turn the valve to "cool" mode (I have A/C) and found that there is nothing there but a rubber plug plugging up the hole that used to have a valve. This is my second glovebox, as my first was replaced due to the door continuously opening (done in 9/03). Has the valve been ditched, or did my dealer do an incomplete install of the new glovebox?

Many thanks!
