A glove box is a compartment in a vehicle, typically located under the dashboard, that is used to store small items such as sunglasses, gloves, or registration and insurance documents. Glove boxes can become jammed for a variety of reasons, such as a misaligned latch or a build-up of dirt and debris. When a glove box is jammed, it can be difficult or impossible to open, which can be frustrating and inconvenient.
There are a few simple steps that you can take to try to open a jammed glove box. First, try to gently pull on the handle of the glove box. If this does not work, you can try using a thin object, such as a butter knife or a credit card, to pry open the latch. If the latch is still stuck, you may need to use a screwdriver to gently pry it open. Once the latch is open, you should be able to pull the glove box open.
