    Mga Amigo:

    Over the weekend I had my aircon fixed,and so the glove compartment had to be taken down.

    Before doing so I crammed a digicam, an ipod and a cd case into it.

    The darned thing wont open now. The latch moves but the catch/hook wont move

    Thinking DIY, how does one open a jammed glove box?

    Thank for reading, help appreciated

    what happened to me before on my corolla was that the spring mechanism got disconnected so I just forced it open with a flat screwdriver. Luckily no damage was done. If all else fails and you really want a DIY solution, this may work for you.
