How To Open/Break Into The Glove Box?

[Emhendo]

I bought an 86' Cutlass Supreme a few weeks ago. The motha****a came without keys... Even the steering column was broken, and you can start the car without a key.

I've since then replaced both door locks, the trunk lock (had to pull the seats out and climb into that hot *ss trunk), and am currently in motion of replacing the WHOLE steering column.

This gon be a lot of of ****in keys on my keychain.

Lastly, I have yet to figure out how to bust open the glove box. I haven't seen inside of the glove box since I bought the damn car. I wonder what's inside. Hopefully a vehicle manual.

Any tips, experiences, or steps to helping me get inside the glove box? I don't wanna risk cracking the glove box lid by prying on it.

Pull the dash to get at it from the backside.

I had the same issue, I went in from behind the dash......took the glove box tub out then unscrewed the lid and removed it. Then took the lock out....painful....

Large one or a 1/4 inch thin piece of metal. Odds are it is not locked.

How do you go "from behind the dash"? I gotta take the whole dashboard out?? Explain

I believe the glove box hinge bolts up from the bottom - undo it and see if you can trip the lock or undo latch.
