Glovebox wont open

[B2ThaZiZza]

I pull and pull on the latch and it still wont open, I think its broken. Is there any way to get my glovebox to open and close for the meantime until I can get a new latch?

Happened to me, I used that.

And just so you know, the guy who recommended a crowbar was kidding. Replacing your dash would be more trouble than it's worth.

I have a glovebox with a latch and key, if you're interested.

After it breaks, just go buy a new one. I have a euro non locking one in mine, opens and closes VERY easily and does not bind like 99% of the used ones out there.

you can always swap cylinders so there's no need for extra keys.
