i had to drill mine....just drill it out and go to a locksmith an have them make you a new 1..never know what youll find in there haha...
Does the lock turn at all? If not, spray wd-40 or other lubricant into the lock. This worked for me on a bmw truck lock.
unbolt it from the bottom, and try to wiggle it around, or you can probably reach in from the back, I forgot how it is back there..

Mine doesn't feel any force when using the key, but it is unlocking/locking
Try turning the key back and forth while holding the bottons down, and pulling the buttons towards you at the same time.

Did that at the junkyard one time and completely ruined the glove box. There actually held in there pretty good. Never tried reaching around tho and was just going for the ecu.
I just ended up cutting the latch screwed to the dash. No big deal I can just get another one.

LMAO how true! Along with the manual and maintenance records, I found a bunch of other shit. A stuffed bear, 2 pears of eyeglasses, and a ratty old handkerchief!dubsupra209;1527911 said:

haha i found a owner manual and maintance records also ...and a brand new water pump in the box still.....
how did you get it open............?
You know that metal latch that's attached to the inside of the glove box with screws? I just pried the glove box open slightly with a crowbar so i could see inside of it, and then stuck a hacksaw blade inside and cut it off. I can easily get a replacement from another car and screw it in so its no big deal though.
The 2 pairs of eyeglasses I found were some old mans prescription glasses so that probably means my car wasn't abused at least until I got a hold of it. D:
