Glove box stuck...

[vlaar]

I have all the bolts and screws undone towards the back of the glove box. However, I can't get the box open? The ignition key for the car doesn't open it. Can I drill it out?

yeah, my factory key doesnt work in my glove box, but I cut a new one from the same factory key, and that one works.... weird...

im sure that your key wore down and didnt unlock part of the lock that it was supposed to...those things are cut so perfectly that if they get grinded down at all it wont work...lucky it still starts ur car but hey glad u figured it out...

Yeah, I just tried the spare key and no luck. I can pull the front part of the glove box enough to see the actual key lock assembly. Can I maybe unlock it without a key??

If you can reach the latch, it's just spring-loaded and can be pressed in with your fingers, or a screwdriver.
