damn glove compartment!

....

I asked the wrong question. I took that vent out (the circular one, I'm assuming) and that didn't exactly help at all. So I figured it had to be the other vent.

After removing every screw I could reach I just cut the box in to little pieces with visegrips an tinsnips. After i had everything removed except the latch it was relatively easy to open with a screwdriver. I now have a replacement from the junkyard that smells like vanillaroma. Does that smell ever go away?

How do you get that vent out?

if you have small arms, you can pop out the pass side vent [near the door] reach in and pinch the two tabs in to unlock the glove box.

yup, and this way won't break anything in the process.

The links above are dead. I have the same problem. What do you guys think about just drilling out the lock? Thanks

[Jimmy Lewis]

At least you guys have gloveboxes, I've gotta go dig through some junkyards to find a new one.

Fuck, mine hasn't done this yet but in order to shut it every time, i have to slam the shit out of it. and i mean SLAM it. getting really annoying.

Why would the cop want your registration. Besides there are times when I drive without my wallet, namely the beach.

Where can I find a keyless latch?

[asubimmer]

reg. are small and they are good to have if you have an accident in someone else's car

[AdironRider]

My wallet is the last place I want to leave my reg. Ill leave it in my car thank you very much.

[nando]

you should keep it in your wallet anyways :?

?? mine is on a 10x12 peice of paper.. I'm *not* putting that in my wallet!

[asubimmer]

I might just say fuck it to my glovebox. I keep my registration in the map pocket.

save your time, drill the lock, and replace the latch assembly with a new, non-locking latch....

I tried one of the writeups above, got pissed, and wound up breaking my glovebox...

what I managed to avoid, thank god... was denting or cracking the dashboard... that would have been a bummer.
