So my glove box handle was broken off by crooks and now its just an exposed metal piece with no handle. How do I "manually" open it so I can get a new one on there?

 

for what year car?

 

Its a dc2.

 

Take the bolts off the bottom it should pop open

 

Yup, integras are held together by bolts or 3 different sizes. Sad but true.

 

There are no bolts. Im locked out of it so I cant get it open.

 

They are at the bottom on the hinge there is two 8mm

 

pry it with flat screw driver. my car was broken into before and they open it that way clean. /it was locked too

 

Well these morons used a shitty flip open knife and ended up gouging **** and breaking the handle. Theres no handle anymore, just a flat metal face. Where should I pry it from? The outside pushing downward?

 

Dude the hinge is held on with a few screws. To get it off you need a screwdriver. If you can't get this off you shouldn't be near a car with a tool. There are 2 screws under the dash. good luck

They are definatly screws not bolts.

 

I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO OPEN MY GLOVE BOX SANS HANDLE, NOT HOW TO REMOVE THE GLOVE BOX. God. If you dont know how to read you shouldnt be anywhere near a message board.

Taking the glove box out is how you open it when the handle doesnt work so you can replace the hanlde you effin retard.

 

How am I going to open it if the mechanism is still engaged? Thats like trying to remove a door thats closed.

 

yes it is exactly! Wow you are smart, if you can see the hinges on a locked door you can unscrew the hinges and the door will fall off. Just like when you remove the screws from the glove box hinges it will fall right out, hopefully hit you in the head and knock some sence into you. 2 screw under the dash, unscrew them the glove box will fall out, replace the handle put the screw back in the same hole they came out of. FIXED

 

rofl this is a funny thread.

do what sleeper is saying.

 

"sence". You're silly. I'll try removing it in the morning. I was just under the assumption that the mechanism would be engaged and I would just have a hanging glove box. Usually when you remove a door its open first
