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.
There are 2 screws on the inside that get removed and pull the latch down.
I would check a salvage yard. Or a dealer.
All you have to do is, When the glove box is open just open it again when it's closed. hope this helps.
Open the glove box, unscrew the three screws next to the lock, tap lightly and it will come out.

I used a short bunge cord hooked on the metal bracket in back of the box to the front latch. Not the best fix - but it works (bertter than paying $90 for a new box).
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.
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.

If the door latch on a 1999 Chevrolet Blazer is broken on the car frame, a new latch might have to be welded in. The old door latch will have to be cut out with a torch. If the latch is broken on the door, a new door might be cheaper than welding in a new latch.
Not all 66 Mustangs had a locking glove box; some came with a standard glove box latch and others with the locking latch. C5ZZ-6506072-B : 65 Glove Box Latch Pony (66 All) C5ZZ-6506072-BL : 65 Glove Box Lock Pony (66 All) Source : http://www.aapd.net
