I would check a salvage yard. Or a dealer.
There are 2 screws on the inside that get removed and pull the latch down.
All you have to do is, When the glove box is open just open it again when it's closed. hope this helps.
The 1979 Chevy Silverado glove box latch is held in place with two retaining screws. Remove the retaining screws and the glove box latch will come off.
Hi, I have a link below that shows several views of the hood latch for a 2001 model Venture, but I am pretty sure they are the same between these years. Good Luck, Greg
To remove the glove box on a Chevy Celebrity pull the glove box out, then push up on the tab on the underside of the box to release the latch that keeps the globe box in. It will then simply pull the rest of the way out.
I have some pictures of of the latch from my van on my website. Check the "Web Links" on the left of this page to see them. Take Care, Greg
The oil filter is on the forward side of the engine directly below the hood latch.
2000 Protege did not have a key-lock glove box. Pull the glove box release handle all the way open, then keep pulling it till it snaps off. Behind where the handle pivot point was is an opening to the inside of the latch mechanism. Stick a thin tool in the rectangular opening and push the latch bolt down to release the glove box. Once open, remove the 3 screws that attach the latch to the glove box, and head to your nearest junk-yard for a replacement latch.
Pry the knob off and remove threaded lock ring for 79 blazer as well all 79 Chevy truck without locking latch.
On the 2004 model (as well as some others) there will be two screws on either side of the latch as you look at it with the gloe box door open. Simply remove those two screws and press on the latch and it will come out. If your latch broke as mine did you may have to use a little bit of pressure. Once you have the old latch out place the new latch in the slt and replace the screws.
I purchased a used 1999 Chevy Malibu and had to replace the glove box because the latch was broken. I purchased another a the local salvage yard and I want to know how to take the lock out of the old door and install it in the new one.
Remove the three Philips screws along the top and the two on the bottom corners and remove the entire glove box. You can then work on the latch from the back of the latch and easily open the glove compartment by gently prying off the corners of the glove box from the locking pins.
