The glove compartment is stuck shut. Is there any way around this besides breaking it?

You need to gently pry the box open enough to saw through the wire hasp using a hacksaw blade. I just used this procedure on my 93 850 and it worked very well. The secret is patience (and a sharp blade). I taped the dash to avoid damage with the hacksaw. You can order the new lock kit and hasp from any Volvo dealer. I got mine from the Borton's web site (www.borton.com). They were very helpful and shipped dirctly to my door in a few days!

This thread popped up at the right time! My glove box just busted and won't open. Thanks for the information on how to fix it. But I do have a followup: how difficult is this fix to complete (other than the sawing)? And how much time?

search for other posts on this. I saw one a while back - last month - that had a detailed procedure. It involves using a hacksaw blade to cut through a part.

The article with the hacksaw was writen on Jun 30th, though it comes up in the July archive. I also suffer from the same affliction so please post if you get it to work (I will as well).
