glove box won't open
My 99's glove box will not open. When you pull the latch it clicks and opens about 1/4" inch and the light comes on. It will not release the rest of the way. How can I get it open to repair the latch. It is unlocked.

1. Roll the car out of your driveway
2. Do a couple of quick zig zags and SLOW sudden stops (Traffic conditions permitting)
3. Check to see whether whatever is hanging up the door has been dislodged.
4. Repeat #2 if necessary.

I hope it does work for you. If you need to fix/replace the latch you'll need to open and possibly pull the box. There are 2 10mm bolts that have to be accessed along with 4 or 5 7mm screws that attach it to the dash. Box has to be open to access. Good luck.
