glove box latch adjustment
I have a hard time opening mine. Is there some way to adjust this so it opens easier???

Check that the latch itself is not damaged in any way. If it's functioning properly, you'll have to bend the metal tab slightly to get the hook on the latch to engage the tab.

glove box latch
didn't work. still need to "coax" it open with a small screwdriver. should just fall open, shouldn't it??
Re: glove box latch
Yes, it should. Sounds as if the tab is a bit too far back. You may have to "finagle" a bit to get the right adjustment. Bend it a bit more toward you if you are sitting in the passenger seat as you are doing this. Just a small bit at a time--not too much.bill hauck wrote:didn't work. still need to "coax" it open with a small screwdriver. should just fall open, shouldn't it??
