Glove Comparment Problem 900 1994

Ok, first it started out a year ago with the sunroof on my '94 940 wedging is such a way that even using the great procedures found on Brickboard would not allow me to remove and repair it. No problem -- I got it back in the closed position and wedged it shut. I can live without a functioning sunroof as long as it doesn't leak.

Next it was the driver's seat - Stuck in the rearmost position and skewed sideways so that I couldn't remove the left back anchor bolt that would have allowed me to remove the seat for repair. No problem -- I have long legs and would have had the seat in the rear-most position anyway. (However, this position is not ideal for other family members which means I get to drive the car most of the time. Yes!!!)

The most recent problem occured this weekend when returning from a trip. I opened the glove compartment to store something, closed it, and haven't been able to open it since. It is not in the "locked" position. The knob still rotates 90 degrees clockwise. It just doesn't open. I suspect a malfunction in the latch, but can't figure out how to defeat the latch to get the thing open. I removed the two panels located on the bottom of the dash under the glove compartment but could find no way to remove the glove compartment. I even dislodged the pin in the right-most hinge, but still could not get the door off. The left-most hinge does not allow for access to its hinge pin. I was able to pry the door open enough at the right-most hinge point to remove a few essential things in the glove compartment. I could say "No problem, I can live without a glove compartment", but thought I should at least ask the question. Any suggestions? Oh, and by the way, if you have any advice on the driver's seat, please feel free to recommend a procedure.

Best regards,
Ron
