Hi,

My glove box won't open. Is there a key slot to open it or any other way of opening it if the catch doesn't work?

It's a 116d M Sport, 2007.

Cheers

hi Joanna

Have you checked that it hasn't been locked with the key?

 If this isn't the case then maybe try sliding a thin piece of plastic in the gap at the catch point, something like an old credit card.

Take the car to your nearest bmw dealer if it is still in warranty.

I can't find anywhere a key will go. I'll try the piece of plastic before taking it to the garage.

Cheers

I'd try unlocking the car with the other key, the one you are using may not be coded to the glove box ??
