In Reply to: How to open stuck glove box? posted by Dominik on April 28, 2002 at 22:14:55:

Today, I finally had access to things I have not seen for months because my latch quit working.

I tried taking it apart at the rear hinges but could not get my big ass hands in there to get it open because it was still attached at the lock.

I came across a parts car and I got the latch from it.

You can get one through Bav auto pretty cheap or maybe try post a message for wanted latch.

I took a screwy driver and pretty much just pried the latch until it came apart. Be careful not to put too much pressure on the box itself when doing this.

Hope this helps.
