Default Stuck glove box

So the glove box door on my 67 is stuck closed.It has worked fine until last week. It does not have a lock, just a push button. The door does not move, and the button is rock solid. I tried hitting it with my hand and a block of wood, but it is not moving. I know I can take out the whole glove box from below, but before I do all that, any suggestions? Thanks

I would suggest loosening those screws at the bottom, along the hinge, to give the whole assembly some more "wiggle room". That should allow you to shift the whole assembly just a little, which may provide enough space between the latch and bracket, to allow the button to operate (in and out) and allow the door to open.

Let us know if it works.....
