My TR-6, and my previous TR-6, both allow the glove box door to spring open
a bit
when I push the button. Sometimes it even flops open, after a quick push.
Could there be some kind of mis-alignment that causes your car's door to
stick?

What!? You have a light! (mine has a hole where a light ought to be!)

The PO of my car showed me how to open the dash during
the show/negotiate session. Take your plastic coated drivers
license, insert beside the latch, and pry it open while pushing
the release button. I've tried, but haven't found a better way.
It seems there should be a spring pushing things open or something???
(I have this image of being stopped by the cops, showing license,
then asking for it back so I can get the registration out of the dash.)
