    Does anyone know how to adjust a glove box where you can get it open? I cannot get my mine to open and cannot figure out why it is stuck???

    If it's the latch that is sticky, you can try adjusting the striker in or out. It's held by two screws on the top edge of the glove box door opening.

    Do you just remove the latch, tighten it up or does it have some room to adjust it around??

    Check to make sure you don't have any wiring or the radio antenna cable running along the bottom of the glovebox on the backside, under the dash. This could cause binding near where the bottom hinge is located.

    It has room to adjust forward and back.

    If adjusting the latch dont take care of it try a little bit of W-D40 on the latch.
