G'day all, I have a GT200l with an engine that won't start and I suspect a fuse issue. Problem is, I can not even open the glove box, even using the master key. Have tried using a built tool to trap the catch and trip it open but am having no luck. Does anyone know a way in to the glovebox. I can not see any other way and I do not want to damage the glovebox lid by forcing it. Attache d a PIC for verification.
Cheers

Welcome to Modern Vespa, Gustyoz.

My glove box was pried open using a flat blade screwdriver in about the same location as your locking pliers. It damaged the cover, though. Others have had success by going through the horn cover or left knee pad.

Hope you get it sorted and can turn that frown up-side down.

Thanks for that. Made in in using a fishing line(20lb) wriggled to trap the latch and pull it down. Zero damage and happy camper.
Thanks for the help😀
