Default Glovebox handle broken off, anyway to pry open or something?

So i broke my gf's glovebox handle off from her 92 4 door DX Civic sedan, now the glove won't open. Is there a way i can open the damn thing? There are very important documents in there, i tried putting the glovebox handle back, but i think the mechanism broke as well.

One of those should work.

If you want to keep it in tack try bracking the switch until you see the little lever then try flipping it.

Take the hinge screws out. If you can't, use a drill to get through the area around the handle until you can grab the actuator with pliars and open it. This is not rocket science, kid.
