Glove box won't open
MY glove box is stuck there for long time, just decide I want to fix now, who should I goto? Mazda dealer or lock vendor? Cuz when I insert and turn the key, it just won't open... Btw iam out of warranty
|
Do you have just one key? it may be the valet key. The valet key does not unlock the glove box. The mazda dealer, with your vin, can make you a new master key.
|
Wat? There are more keys than just electron and attached strip down key? Is that the spare key you talking about??
|
I have an 04 and my Valet key is gray in color and the regular key is black. I am not sure about the other years, but there is usually a way to tell them apart. I have no reason to not believe the previous poster, but I have never tried it, and now I will when I get home
|
Yea, been to dealer, asked, only one key on 2006 one, I think it just simply broke, they say 60$ half hour inspection and fix fee additionally, I ll just .. Idk leave it there for now...
|
I had this happen, no work around, I had to break it open and replace the glove box. Not a common issue.

Hmm.. Dealer tech desk service helped me to strike the whole thing apart... Cost me nothing.. And now I ll just spend 60 or 70 to buy a new box... Seems a good deal...
|
Guess better than order new ones from Mazda. Says whole thing 200can$ + labour.... Over 300
|
Yeah you have to destroy it to get it open. I bought a used one out of a 2009.
|
Did you guys lock them before ths happened, or did they just get stuck out of the blue?
|
Mine just got stuck out of the blue, I have never locked it before.
|
Wow, that is weird. Good thing it does not happen very often.
|
Yeah I thought I was the only one this ever happened too, this is the first time I have heard of anyone else having the problem. But, in ten years my glove box has been opened a gazillion times so it's whatever.
|
I had that problem a few months after I bought my RX-8. Locked it and I could not unlock and open it after that. I was able to unlatch the hindge from the bottom, reached around and unlocked the mechanism with the help of a flathead without destroying anything. And truth be told, 9krpmrx8, there is a spring inside that came loose preventing the striker to not move once locked and closed. Fixed it at no cost and in half-an-hour.
|
So is it true my key can unlock any 8's glove box?? Lol I truly don't understand, I am buying a lock latch from a guy and he told me I can use my key to unlock the lock latch he selling me...
