Re: [Amc-list] Opening the glovebox

[WILLIAM SERCKIE <realtorbill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,
   
  My 1965 American glove box also sticks, and the best way that I have found to open it is to apply constant pressure to the door while pushing on the lock mechanism as hard as I can, this ususlly works the first time...

  The glovebox design that AMC used is awful, at least if you have the little button that you push in to pop the glovebox door open. None of my AMCs of that era (I have 4 '62s and a couple '59s) work very well. If you figure out a fix, let me know! In the meantime, I usually push the button in, then stick something like a credit card or over the lip of the door, then pull it back as I'm holding the button in with my thumb.
