When i pressed both sides of the latch to open the glovebox they stuck open and would not close. Using the key, I could get them to open so it would latch but eventually that stopped working. I tried to order a replacement off ebay and the guy who had two of them had the same thing happen to both. He tore one apart to try to figure out if he could make one work from two but couldn't figure our why it was doing this. I tried cleaning and lubricating but didn't help. Any thoughts for a solution or where I can find a new one that works? I've heard of planned obsolescence but really?
