Glovebox stuck and latch won’t work

[Craigyp82]

Hi everyone

So I have a 69 plate qashqi and my glovebox is very full and I shut it whilst driving and it won’t open now , the latch just pulls and feels loose and the actual glove box won’t budge

I’ve tried wedging open with screw driver but worried I’m gonna damage it

I’ve seen videos on how to remove it completely but that would need it to be open and I can’t even get in it

I desperately need some documents out of there for my work so any tips or advice would be amazing

Welcome to this forum.

Curiously someone else asked a similar question albeit for an older car just a few days ago.

In the end he forced it open.

I don't know of another way.

Here's a view showing the locations of the two catches - at both sides:

Your a star because I have been jamming clothes hanger handles and all sorts around the middle but the catches are at each end which I didn’t know so that’s really helpful
