Having problems with your Volvo 850 ?
Glovebox won't open---------
\015 Glovebox is closed and it sounds like part of the lock assembly came off and I can't get the door open. You can put the key in and turn it but it's not unlocking ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\015
Answers :
Use two large thin metal putty knives on either side of a hacksaw to protect the vinyl. Put the saw blade between them and cut thru both sides of the U shaped latch. After cutting thru both sides of the U shaped lock the door will open. You can buy a new brace from www.FCPGroton.com (listed under interior mechanical). Take the door off of the dash. Remove the door liner screws and door liner to expose then locking mechanism. >> Pay close attention to how all the gears and levers come out. Reverse install the new hardware. Reinstall the door to the dash.
