How To Fix the Glovebox if it won't Unlock (Video)

Postby ShaunM » Tue 23.08.2011, 08:00

To compliment to Glovebox Rebuild writeup done by surfboardfiller, here's a quick way of fixing a Glovebox that won't unlock.

To unlock the glovebox if it's on the car, push the key to the right (on RHD cars) when unlocking which should engage the lock mechanism.

Fantastic, thanks, just what I needed. Couldn't open the glovebox on the newly acquired S2 at all, but using this tip it dropped like a charm. Now to follow the video clip and fix the problem.
