JAMMED & LOCKED GLOVE BOX !!!

[blackcurrantGLT]

ERRM ? Anyone got any idea's on how to get in to the glove box when its locked and the key does nothing ! The key goes in - and turns freely from one position to the other . It doesn't feel like the key is actually moving anything inside though ! the handle is a bit vague too !
DARN !! Its got mee best Kenny Rodgers and Tammie winnit CD's in too !!
LOL !

Before you smash everthing up try this....

Get under your dashboard and you'll just about see the bottom screws of the glove box face. With quite a bit of pressure you can get a screwdriver onto them.
Undo these screws and with very careful pressure you can lever the face of the glove box out enough to see.

Now comes the tricky part with a long screwdriver you've got to play with the mechanism. This part took me about 2hours to do but it did come aparteventually.

All I can say is try it......... and if all else fails then enjoy your destruction

p.s. - I don't think it mattered that if the box was locked as the bit that was broken was the locking pin
