The glove box or should I say =E2=80=9Ccubby=E2=80=9D on the TR6 (1970) =
has decided it will remain closed until further notice. Key does turn =
the lock but then the box refuses to open.  Short of blowing up with a =
shaped charge, is there any other way to open the &^%&^%*& thing ??

from a tr4/4a

it was a good idea, probably dropped for cost cutting reasons

I don't believe it was for the TR6 but there is a small pull that fits fits 
under the cubby box door lock that fits and works well on my 71 TR6.
It is a TR part - maybe from a 3 or 4...

I took  a short piece of thin black shoe string and made a loop that I 
placed the ends under the push button/ lock so that the loop stuck out 
enough to pinch with my thumb and index finger as I pushed the button in 
with my thumb and could pull at the same time. Been there for years, no one 
has ever noticed and it works every time. A little tricky to put the the 
lock and the shoe string in the glove box lid the same time, but doable.

My sense was always that the pull tab was dropped both for stylistic 
reasons (to make it seem more "modern") as well as safety (one less poky 
thing for the passenger to bash their head on in an accident).
