My glove box latch is broken 😡

Not the two latched at the bottom but the top latch that engages the glove box door.

I cannot find a YouTube video. Do I have to remove h to e entire glove box to access?

Appreciate your help in advance.

Broken as in won't latch or broken as in won't open?

If the latter, you can access the latch with very thin hands or a long screwdriver from the LH black 'knee pad'.

If the former, then you've already had the glovebox off and forgot the rubber band.

Broken as in broken. The latch itself is broken. The end broke off. I actually glued it for about a year but now it is done and I have to replace it.

Part no. 575607 would seem to be what you need. #25 on page 53 of the parts list.

And yes, of course you have to take the whole glovebox off to replace it, as you must have done to glue it in the first place.
