watching this guys video lead me in the right direction and you can see the rod in his video and an alternative way to open

[@davenbezotte1781]

Awesome, worked for me easy as it looks. Glad to find a solution to an issue with my car that doesn't require a specific tool or skill, this is actually cheap and simple. Thanks

Great tip Kevin! It took me a while to get the tie wrap around that rod inside the door though. I ended up using some very light gauge steel wire (for picture hanging). I was able to form a hook on the end, get the hook to go around that rod inside the door, and then pull it the rest of the way through with a needle nose pliers. I then tied the light gauge wire onto the end of the tie-wrap and snaked it around the rod.

Thanks for your video bro it really helped. However, I had a problem with trying to put the zip-😂tie around the rod. After a few minutes, my wife came out with a crochet hook, and it opened right up. 😂

You are a life saver! Thank you for making this video! It took me a little bit to get the zip tie just right but I finally got it! Thanks again.

Thanks Kevin M. and YT ! I was ready to take a crow bar to the f**king glove box in my 2004 Accord.

[@Roscythereaperdarippah]

Just did this on my 07 accord and it works! Thanks for the video and help.

If you take your honda key and push on that rod toward the steering wheel, it will pop right open also... no zip-tie required...

[@malibuman8941]

Or a small screwdriver on the plastic clip and push it to the left.

[@mario17-t34]

Thanks much, wish honda put cut out video how they did this latch

[@njdxnjdx]

Another way to get it open is to pull the latch, then really yank on it super hard

[@yerrrrrrrrrrr3740]

fuck that, i just kept socking the shit out of it until it opened

[@jorywoods9514]

Thanks dude!

[@trankt54155]

What about the box to the left of the glove compartment, what is it called? Mine just popped open and never closes again...does anyone have a similar problem? Thanks.

[@badarm3725]

I do too, did u find a fix?

[@DeSoccerRefMan]

good job

[@miguelmedina1022]

Works

[@nicholascgoss]

Just buy a lid with latch from the wreckers

[@coolfilms99]

Nicholas Goss how do you get the key to work if it comes from the wreckers? It would be a different key right?

[@SupaEMT134]

@@coolfilms99 --exactly. Looks like we're all still waiting on that answer...

...or you could remove the hinge screws.

That is a tie strap, in case any of you don’t know where you can get one, if you know of a Trump supporting January 6 insurrectionist, they use them during their riot of our capitol building. So if you know of a Trump supporting insurrectionist rioter, ask them and they should be able to let you know where you can get those zip ties
