Agreed, to the point where they splay out, effectively losing height.
That is what I took him to mean by " stoppers that are now crushed".

Yes. It is like an egg crate effect. The looseness is not enough to
make the glove box door rattle but the latch has a metal plate inside
that makes a noisy buzz. If I can take the latch apart, I may be able
to put a shim in between the plate.
Filling the void in the foam makes a snug fit and stops the buzz. I
have some neoprene electrical plugs I can cut up and shape but it
seems like such a pain. It is a problem shaping them right and getting
them to stay put when I open and close the glove box.
