Glove Box Jamed Broken Handle How Can I Get into it

Featured Replies

I have put my sat nav and mobile phone in the glove box whilst trying to sort a different problem and when I went to open the glove box the handle has completly snapped off now i cant get into the glove box.

I have tried screw drivers pushing down on the plastic latches where the handle was up until it snapped off but it wont budge.

How can i get into it without doing damage to the dash board by trying to prise it open.

:rolleyes:

If you have the handle off, you need to pull the two plastic latchbolts towards the center.

I have tried this but it still wont open i dont know what has happened to it, all i can think off is that something is wrong with the actual latch.

Dont know what i can do

It you can't get it open that way, you need to drill the glovebox door. If you need the exact locations to drill, then let me know and I'll go and take some measurements.

if you crawl in from the seats theres a leaver on the boot latch under the small pannel in the middle.

as for the glove box, I think it would be a bit of force if I were doing it as it's obviously knackered now anyway.

Try a bigger hammer! I hope jordjas got in the boot ok, when you open the plastic trim you will be greeted by a bright orange mechanism, or at least mine was.
