my glove box is jammed and i can't get it to open. I need to get it opened so i can install a sssquid chip. i planned on breaking it open and just replacing it later. any ideas on how i can break it open without damaging my dash board??

also any advice on how i should replace it?
Find a picture of the globe box latch and you should be able to figure out how to jimmy it open. My latch was broken but I didn't have too hard of a time getting into it, although I don't remember how exactly.
I'm not sure if dropping the hinge will release the latch or cause damage but there are 3 screws under neath that hold the hinge. I'd start by loosening them to see if it gives you enough slack to unnamed the latch. Last resort is remove them and bust your latch.
proceed at your own risk
