Glove compartment latch failure 88 740 wagon 700

The box would not open today. The twist latch didn't release the door. I have never locked it, but I tried putting the key in as well with no luck.

After prying it open, it will not latch again. I assume that It is kaput.

Advice on repair/replacement?

Thanks.

I have trouble with my glovebox also. Mine will not open most of the time and then it will flop open randomly even when just closing doors. In my case the lower trim panel underneath the box is out of position, missing screws and or jammed against something. I can visually see that the panel is not right as the panel does not line up to the inboard side of the dash properly. Maybe yours is in a similiar situation?
There is also another situation described in the 700/900 faq.

I hope this helps.
