    Removing Glovebox with Broken Handle

    I'm sure someone has to have gone through this before. Is there a best way to go about this, or is the whole box done once the handle is broken? Any screws, nuts, bolts, etc?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    get underneath it and unbolt it. then tear it off. use a flat head.

      You can get to the latch, not sure exactly how, but one of the techs was able to get mine open with the handle broken. I then replaced the handle before I closed my glovebox again, haha

          iirc, i was able to use pliers and a flat head to still utilize what was left over after the latch had broken off. just take a close look at it. if that doesn't work, unbolt from rear and rip it off, you can always get another from a yard.

            i removed the hinge on the back of the glove box. a little bit of back pain but I think it's 3 10mm bolts that hold it on. IIRC you'll still have to rip it to pieces.
