Me frikkin glovebox has just broke! I went to press the buttons in to open it, and something must have snapped inside cuz they are like not connected to anything now......just loose......and the bloody thing is shut and I can't get it open lol. Me frikkin stereo face is in there too! Any recommendations on how I might open it? I don't wanna start trying to lever it open with screwdrivers etc, cuz I'll bugger up the dashboard like

I never will be able to lever it open with a screwdriver if the catch is shut tho will I. So basically I am buggered! I could always get a branch and attack the car tho lol. I'm sure that would help! Laughing

right if you wanna open it and not fuck it all up. Screwdriver, break the front of the catch off, the bit you squeeze the sides into, it will all ping over the floor, then you can move the catches back in.

Go nick a new latch from the scrappy.
