Title: glove box latch
Post by: losthelegend on April 09, 2010, 08:47:40 pm

I am trying to take the glove box latch apart so that I can replace the plastic liner.  Does anyone know how to take the latch apart so that I install the liner.  Thanks in advance for your help!

yep...........right on the inside of the box dead against the liner is a hole.
in that hole are tumblers you have to push in with say a paperclip while pulling.
then stick a paper clip inside the keyhole to hold the tumblers open.
theres a great thread on here with pics if u search.
was very informative for me.
