EK Glove box wont open

[AndreaCivic]

Hi There,
I'm having a problem with my glove box lock. It has stopped working and i want to replace it but i cant take it off in order to do so..
I've unscrewed the bottom two bolts but i cant unhinge it at the lock.
has any body got an idea of how i can get it off?

i seen somebody selling a glovebox with a broken lock the same as mine so maybe it's a common thing.

any help is appreciated.

sorry, i think it is just called a lock, but there isn't actually a key hole lock.. i suppose you could say it is more of a latch..

any other ideas?

theres 2 x 10mm bolts on the bottom of the glove box.

take those off and then it might be able to help you move the latch around a bit. Just sounds like its stuck.
