Alright,
I have seen a few people post topics about not being able to get their glove boxes open for various reasons. (Broken handles, etc)
This is how I did it:

Items needed:
-Coat hanger
-Pliers

 


Steps:
1. Using the pliers, bend the hanger so that there is a "J" shaped hook on the end about 1/2"-3/4" wide.

 


2. Put the bent hanger into the center top of the glove box so that the hook goes in between here: (the whole "J" part)

 

You cannot see this when its closed, but that will give you an idea of what it looks like.

3. Turn the hanger so that the end of the "J" hook pushes down on this:


It may take some wiggling, but it will eventually push that down and release the latch.
GOOD LUCK!
