The latch of the glove compartment broke. Can't open the compartment
We broke the latch, and we can see an opening that is may be for a key or more likely a lever. The compartment itself is never lock, but now without a latch or lever, we can't open the door. Please help.
Re: The latch of the glove compartment broke. Can't open...
If you look under glove box you will see two to four screws that hold the glove box on. Take out the screws and the glove box will drop down and you can get inside and release latch..then you can get a replacement latch and replace.

If the handle broke off completely, then you should be able to see what the handle pushed on or pulled on to open it, then you might be able to push on the latch mechanism with a screwdriver or pull what's left of the handle piece with a pair of needle nose pliers
Remove side clips holding the glove compartment into the console and unhook the elastic string that guides the compartment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Super VAG K+CAN V4.8
My avalon 2002 trunk was not opening. The problem was a little switch in the glove compartment was depressed I puched the switch back in and wala everything was just fine again. A lil black switch in the glove compartment. wish u the best.
If you don't have the trunk key, use the trunk release button in the glove compartment. If you do have the key, you must turn it all the way to the left and then press the button. It should open then. Turn it back to midway and it will stay unlocked.
hello / if you move the glove box door from side to side when pulling on it , it will open one side first and then the other side . it has 2 hooks one left and one right / hard to explain ,/
