I don't see this in the forum so here goes.
the glove box latch in my '91 E30 developed a problem
where it would not release. Turns out the soft aluminum
latch hangs up on the steel bracket it hangs on because
of a notch in the little ears from wear.
The fix is to remove the latch and file the latching surfaces
until the groove disappears. Be careful to match the existing angle.
a 1/4 inch 3 corner file is perfect for this.
Works like new.
