Anybody have any ideas on how to "unstick" a stuck glovebox...
The glovebox is unlocked, but when I pull on the handle, it doesn't open. It seems like there's a latch on the right side of the glovebox that is stuck. Anybody know if there's an access point to get to that latch so that I can get my glovebox open?
I was going to just take it to the dealership to have them fix it real quick, but they told me it would be 3 weeks before they could fit me in. Kinda annoyed me that they can't do this quickly for me. My sunglasses are in there, so the morning commutes have been rough.

I guess you could try this - at your own risk....
Just to double check - the lock slot should be vertical |
I guess you could remove the rounded panel between the glovebox and the passenger door - I'm guessing it prys off like the fuse box cover. Once it's off, you should be able push the latch back into the glovebox door.
