HOW DO I OPEN A 1988 BMW broken glove box?

How to Open a Broken BMW Glove Box 1988

1. Find the Release button on the side of the glovebox: Typically, this button is located on the right-hand side of the glove box and has a small arrow or other indicator.

2. Ensure the button is pulled out: Press and pull the release button outward as much as possible, and check to see if it has released.

3. Try manually closing and reopening glovebox: Once you have pulled the lever, try to manually close and reopen the glove box to determine whether the release is still stuck.

4. Insert a flat-head screwdriver: If this doesn't work, insert a flat-head screwdriver into the small slot next to the release button and gently pry it open.

5. Look for broken release: If the release is broken or damaged, and the glove box won't open, it may be time to replace the entire glove box assembly.

6. Contact a mechanic: If you are unsure how to open the glovebox, or if you have tried the above steps and the glove box still won't open, contact a mechanic for assistance.
