Q: Glove box stuck closed.

asked by on January 14, 2016

My glove box is stuck.

I would take that car to the dealer and have them open the glove box. Whatever you do do not force it because it can damage the glove box and may cost around $600. It is common that the manual and other material has jammed the glove box closed. I read that the dealer has a fix for this problem.
