I have a New Dacia Sandero Stepway from 2021 and its glove compartment is stuck and I cannot open it anymore. It is probably jammed by some papers inside. How can I open it?
Thanks for your prompt answer!
I am not quite sure what you mean by a disconnected latch? The handle is still there outside but nothing happens when I pull it.
I have already tried pulling it really hard I am afraid it will break off. The handle moves forward but it does not open the compartment.
I have also tried to insert some long screwdrivers to manually unlatch it but I am not successful.
Does the handle you pull feel loose or is there resistance?
Take a 30cm ruler and try to free the latch with it.
You can try with some small plastic card, with format like credit card (but don't use credit card, more like store loyality card). Insert it exactly in the middle of upper gap of compartment and try to maneuver it a little. It should give some extra push and would be easier to open. Another method is to spray some WD40 in the same place, but it would be a mess... If you are right the papers are stuck there, would get a bti wet and maybe it would be easier to pull the handle. If there is some problem with other mechanics, WD40 could help to.
Is it jammed or is the latch disconnected, if it’s jammed it might come open with a little extra pulling
