How to open a glove box with a broken catch. Suzuki Alto. 2013. Also Swift and SX4. Maruti. A Star.
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Suzuki Alto.
I made a little tool to open the glove box in the event of the catch breaking like mine did. If you choose to do this yourself, as with all of my videos, you do so at your own risk. I can't take responsibility for any damage to either the car or yourself. I've been told it works on the Suzuki Swift and the 2011 SX4 too.
If you'd like to, you can buy me a coffee if you think this was useful to you. Thank you.

Thanks... Worked for me. 2 minutes. I took a metal rod from the bucket. Before watching this video I spent 1 hour looking at multiple options
I used your video guide to open my car's glove box without damaging it. Great video well explained and the word don't rush worked for me.
Thanks David, worked a treat, bonus bag of haribos in there too!!👍

Awesome! Thanks for this. I made this tool and was able to open my glove box but rather than buy a new latch I took it apart. A tiny bit of plastic had snapped off so I heated up a thin metal rod and pushed it into the plastic main body of the unit to make a new pin, snipped it off the right length and reassembled the latch. Works a treat!

Wow, well done. The spring on mine had disintegrated and had damaged the inside so you were lucky. Mind you it was only about six quid if I remember correctly. Thank you for the great comment.

Interesting little tool, thanks. I don't use my glovebox often, think it's almost empty. Bad habit some people have is having it jammed full of stuff which puts pressure on the door mechanism
It worked sir great With in 1 min unlocked

David your a Bloody genius mate! A great video, Big thumbs up The wife's went on her when she needed to get some key's out the glove box. And like you I went in with a screwdriver. Thankfully I like you didn't do any damage that really counted, and but needless to say I now have a new tool in my tool box lol :D Greets R, Spannish

Yes it is easy once you have actually looked at it in detail, but it's not till you have a problem that you realise you're stumpt. Also goes to show a regular fault in this area, as there are so many looking for an answer to the problem ...
