The glove box do not open
 

1971 911. The key works fine. Any ideas?

Does the knob turn? try pushing in so there is no pressure on the catch. maybe something got lodged between the door and housing causing the release not to sit back into the tumbler.

My sunglass case was putting too much tension on the door and it was hard for me to open mine.

My 2 cents

and my glove box still doesn't work...one of these days.

Thanks!
 

Voila!
