Anyone have the issue of a stuck glove box. My friend closed mine yesterday and now it won't reopen.

Try tilting it while pushing the button...side to side. The latch should release. You might have to pop it off the rails at the bottom but be careful...

Mine did this, was a broken piece in the release mechanism. Dealership got it open for me and I ordered a used glove box (junkyard) and swapped the parts out of it.

Same happened to me
I ordered a complete mech I think from eBay.
Want that difficult to do.
You replace both sides
Had a friend of mine who's a mechanic remove the key lock and installed it into the glove box
Worked like a champ
