When I trying to open glove compartment, the handle moves but there's is the sound of a lot of loose parts.
The compartment will not open, it is unlocked and I've tried to remove the three screws at back,
but no go.... I need some ideas, help, not using a crow bar....

Ken,

That worked, came apart with little damage, minor scuffing.
Part needed is hard to find, went to local PnP yard, out of three
possible donors cars, one had proper part. It was cracked badly.
I took it and got the piece I needed.

Replacing it in my latch was a fun job, pins are pressed in or molded
as part of unit. I took a small drill bit and inserted bit into dowel and it
caught and started to spin dowel, melted plastic and came apart.
put everything back together with a few tiny dubs of locktite.

All is well and working again, gotta love this web site, so much knowledge...

Thanks.
