C10 Glovebox Latch Removal | How to Remove 

Thank you. I’ve been working on square body’s for 30 years and this is the first time I’ve had to remove a glove box latch. Worked like a charm. Thanks again

Awesome Bro, thank you. My latch head been loose for years. Never got around to trying to fix. On rough roads today the locking mechanism fell apart. With the help of your video. Lock back on nice and tight.

Cool, thanks man! Mine was loose, your vid showed me the threaded part that needs to be tightened.

Thank you for the video , I was stabbing around in the little hole in the front of the latch , wrong-o !

So, First off, thank you for the video. However, there is an easier way. When you press the first pin down, insert a small drill bit through the tiny hole in front. the little keys have holes and the drill bit will hold it down. pull it out slightly, push the second pin down and insert the drill bit further to lock down the second pin, then remove the assembly :)

Like a charm!! Thanks man! I was working on this one for about 20 mins and wasn't getting anywhere. Thanks for making this video!

Thanks for this. The whole glove box on my '73 was on the floor when I got my truck. The plastic hinge was in 2 pieces - I removed the part fastened to the dash sheet metal then cut approximately 1/8 to 3/16" of the remaining hinge material from the 'main body' of the glove box. I pop riveted a length of piano hinge (continuous hinge) from Home Depot to the glove box side of things. Some fiddling with a pair of 3" C clamps and some wood spacer pieces let me find the correct place to drill through the sheet metal dash. I found this broken hinge to be a common problem that tends to happen every 35-45 years! Brothers Parts wants $50 for the one piece 'box/hinge' - that's silly. The latch mechanism was all loose so it needed to be tightened. It's not Hexagon - 6 sided, but an Octagon - 8 sided. The proper size square nut fits right in the hole. I jammed a square nut against a conventional nut on a screw and tightened things right up. While everything was apart I gave the all the moving surfaces a touch of oil and when it was all back together it worked Great. The passenger, if being told to look at the piano hinge will notice it, (literally a 1/4" x 14" strip of chrome) so a quick masking job and a bit of flat black paint finished the job. I'm going to see what else you've posted MilkCrate

Thank You for posting this! It jogged my memory and allowed me to take it out despite a prior owners attempt at curing a rattle which included putting sealant over the access hole for the pins

I was sticking a pin in the little hole in the chrome piece up front. I saw that wasn't going to work. Never saw the access windows on the side. Thanks for the vid. Now I don't need an extra key for the box.

Thank you your video was the best on here everyone else makes it so complicated.

Greta vid, i was working on this glove box for over an hour until i watched your video, then i was done in 10 minutes, thanks again!!

Thanks brother! Super simple once someone like you explains it!

Awesome video! Hardest part was finding a small enough pointy tool to get in to push the pin in. Finally found a small Phillips screwdriver to get the job done. 😉

Thanks so much. I needed to replace the plastic liner in my glove box of my c7d042 two ton farm truck. This made it simple. Your the best.

Thanks for sharing this video, now I can continue working in my free time on my 77 k5 greetings from Chile!!! ✌🏾

Great! the sharp pointy worked for me! That hex head tool is G.M. special tool #007...aka some large vise-grips. After watching this tutorial I had the whole thing apart and the parts listed on ebay in short time. Thank you!

Finally fixed that bugger. Good tips in the comments about using a small drill bit to hold the tabs in, just insert into the tiny hole. The special tool looks like the butt end of a small screwdriver or even the head of a bolt. Thanks!

Thanks, your videos have helped me out several times

Thx - helped me very much for my 1981 Cadillac DeVille!

You're welcome! Good luck and thanks for watching!

Haha! Yeah, there were so many things on my truck that were a just a disaster waiting to happen courtesy of the previous owner/s. Glad to hear it worked!!

It took a while of messing with it, but finally got it. It has been loose for years and a pain to close. Now it is lubed, tight and it works great! Thanks a bunch for your video! :-)

awesome! worked... some complete incompetent had put the threaded part into the lock behind the door, so it was flopping about... :) fixed! :)

To the point and informative, thank you

Thanks for the video. My 84 has the latch broken off. The latch and spring are missing so I can't get it to a place where the little tabs show in the windows for me to depress. Any ideas? Thanks!
