    After searching the archives, I found the following answer to my stuck
    latch. Is this the best idea that anyone has come up with:
    Any other hints?
    Thanks much.

    Cut a hole in the old glove box door to release the latch manually. Buy
    a new door for lots more than $25. This method takes way less time, so
    is preferred by mechanics. Cutting through the U shaped catch can also
    mark up the dash or glove box door if you're not methodical and patient.
