How to remove 1999 vw jetta glove box door

outer or inner door handle?

hi

it sounds like the lock or module is faulty

you will have to remove the inside door trim and check to see if any thing has come off or if anything is broken

if it all looks intact and its not responding to the inside lock or maybe just the outside key

then it sounds like the lock is faulty or something attached to the lock

For 1999 Polos, they are behind the mini glove box/compartment underneath the steering wheel in the driver's footwell. Open this glovebox, then remove the cover by lifting it out completely. The fuse box is in the gap behind it.

it locks and unlocks with the cental locking.after unlocking the car it should just push open.
you can also remove the trim inside the trunk next to the cap and pull the wire.....

is it the valet key or the key fob? valet keys will not open glove box or trunk

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.

Guess what? Volkwagen makes you buy the entire glove box assembly, including lock and door in gray, black or beige for around $145. No way to fix the latch because it is encased in sealedand glued plastic. Good luck! Mine just broke, also.

No trick, it is most likely locked, use a putty knife an pry it open carefully near the center where the latch is, it will pop open

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.
