Sounds like the locking / latch mechanism is either locked or broken, try to remove the glove box after removing all the screws that secure the hinges on the glove box.

Hope it helps.

SOURCE: 2000 Toyota Corolla VE -- Glove Box Stuck

The most common cause is something inside the glove box jammed in the latch. Push glove box door release , and GENTLY insert a flat putty knife, plastic knife, or similar type tool in the groove of door, GENTLY try to pry open the door. U will probably (hopefully) find a napkin, map, or glove (does anybody actually put gloves in the glove box?) jammed in the inside latch. Let me know how u make out.

SOURCE: broken handle to glove box in my Galant

This happened in my '01 galant as well. If you take a peek under where the handle used to be, there's a little square nook with a spring and a little plastic tab. take a key and stick it right above the tab and press down, and the glove compartment should just pop right open. If it doesn't work, then it's probably just locked. Just unlock the door and try it again.

SOURCE: glove box is stuck

The lid "locks" into place by two retractable nibs on the outer sides of the glove box that are supposed to retract back into the lid housing when you lift up on the release lever.
If you can get a flat piece of metal like a slim jim down the sides of the glove box lid, you should be able to push the nib back into the housing, thus releasing the lock hold of the lid.
I just had to do this today when my Hyundai Tiburon glove box closed and refused to open agian.
It seems like the latch has a tendency to malfunction after a while and no longer is able to active the retraction of the nibs on each side.
Mine was retracting only on one side, so I could see that it was kind of "trying" to release but was still locked in place.
I hope this helps some
Good luck!

How to remove a glovebox hinge in a chevy uplnder

This something I copied from an eBay listing, so I haven't done it yet.

Uplander Glove Box Hinge

Used in good condition.

Has minor cosmetic flaws like scratches, scrapes or scuffs you would normally expect to find on a used item.

Includes 5 screws and nuts to replace the rivets.

A web search may yield a video for you to watch.

Required Tools:

Flat screwdriver

Phillips screwdriver or else a 7mm socket and rachet

Electric drill with a 3/16" inch bit

Needle nose pliers or vise grips.

3/8" inch wrench.

Removal Instructions:

Remove the panel underneath the glove box.

3 Black 3/4" inch pan head bolts hold it in place.

Use a flat screwdriver to pry a little and slip the prongs of a pair needle nose pliers on either side of a bolt.

Push down on the handle of the needle nose pliers to remove each bolt.

Remove 2 phillips screws along the bottom of the glove box hinge.

Remove 2 phillips screws inside the glove box.

Remove the small black cabin air filter access door inside the glove box.

Put your fingers inside the left side of the access door opening.

Yank backward to loosen the 1 retainer clip on the left side of the glove box assembly.

Often times the 2 retainer clips on the right are also loosened.

Skip steps 1 to 5 if you can remove the entire glove box assembly at this point.

1) Open the front passenger door.

2) Use the flat screwdriver to remove the fuse access panel.

3) 3 Retainer clips hold it in place.

4) Use both hands to grab the glove box assembly on the far right.

5) Yank backward to loosen the 2 retainer clips on the right side of the glove box assembly.

Pull the entire glove box assembly out of the dashboard.

Some models have a strip of masking tape behind the glove box to hold it in place.

Some models have a lamp inside the glove box. Leave it in place or else pry a black tab to disconnect the wiring harness.

Hold the 'ears' of a rivet with the vise grips or needle nose pliers.

Drill through the 5 rivets with your electric drill and 3/16" inch bit.

The rivets may fall apart. Otherwise, twist the vise grips or pliers for removal.

Remove 4+2=6 phillips screws on the glove box door.

Use a flat screwdriver to pry 2 tabs on the glove box door to remove the rectangular portion.

Installation Instructions:

Install the 4+2=6 phillips screws on the glove box door.

Install the 5 replacement phillips screws and nuts where the rivets were.

For some models reconnect the glove box lamp wiring harness.

Align the 3 retainer clips and push the fuse access panel into place.

Align the 3 retainer clips and push the glove box assembly firmly into place.

Install the small black cabin air filter access door inside the glove box.

Install 2 phillips screws inside the glove box.

Install 2 phillips screws along the bottom of the glove box hinge.

Install 3 black 3/4" inch pan head bolts under the glove box assembly to hold the panel in place.

How does glove box come off to replace air cabin filter ?

First, take a good look at what you’re doing.
Look on the right side of open glove box and locate a plastic lever. You will see grooves on the end connected to the glove box. The grooved area is the spot to place the thumb in order to press this lever off the glove box when it comes time to do that.
Look up under the glove box. You will see two brass colored screws one on each side of the bottom of the glove box. These screws go up through two square plastic hinges that are attached to the glove box and into the the dash frame.
Okay, with the glove box closed remove the two brass colored screws, and put them aside so you won’t lose them..
Open the glove box and hold the glove box with your left hand and press on the plastic lever (grooved area) located on the right side of the glove box. This lever (the lever already mentioned above) is slotted and will pop off the glove box.
Put the glove box carefully aside.
Look straight in behind the glove box. You will see a rectangular black plastic cover approximately 1.5 inches wide by 8 inches long. On the right and left side are arrows pointing in. Press the arrows and pull out on the cover. This will slide out the tray that holds the filter. Remove old filter and insert the new one, flow arrows pointing down.
Retrieve glove box, hold in place, and attach plastic plastic lever to the right side of the glove box. The reverse of removal.
Next, the two plastic hinges located on the bottom of the glove box fit underneath the dash frame.
While holding the glove box in place (the glove box latch may hold glove box in place while installing screws) re-install the two screws through the plastic hinges into the frame and tighten.
Hope this helps you.

Lower Glove Box Won't Close

I fixed this in a 2010 Rav4 by lowering the glovebox all the way and finding that the cover to the cabin air filter had fallen off and was jamming the hinge of the glove box. To lower the glove box, pull the glove box side walls inward until the lock tabs clear the sides of the opening and you can rotate it all the way down. Clear whatever is jamming the hinge and rotate the glove box back into position. Be sure the hinge is pushed all the way forward onto the corresponding pin before closing the glove box, otherwise there will be misalignment. There is also a plastic air piston on the right side of the glove box assembly that damps the movement of the glove box. Be sure the piston assembly is secured into the two corresponding locking pins (one on the glove box, the other on the glove box opening) before closing the glove box.

How do i inside air filter for 2008 HHR

Open the glove box on the right side of the dash. There are tabs on each side that must be pushed inward to release the glove box, and let it open completely. You may need to remove all items from the glove box before doing this, as most stuff will fall out when you release the tabs, and let the glove box open fully.
You will then see three (3) tabs that hold the cabin filter compartment door closed. Release those tabs to expose the filter. The old filter will slide straight out. Do this slowly, as not to send dust and dirt flying all over the inside of the car. Note the direction of flow on the old filter before removing it. The filter will be marked, "AIR FLOW" and have an arrow indicating this.
Now, simply install the new filter, noting the direction of flow. Close the filter housing, snap the housing tabs closed, raise the glove box back into position slowly, re-installing the glove box tabs, and you're finished.
This procedure is also explained in your owners' manual, on page 3-22, under Passenger Compartment Air Filter.
