Default Locked myself out of the glove compartment...

So, how can I get into the glove compartment or remove the glove compartment if I forgot to attach the cable that opens the door?

I was basically taking apart my center console and dash and when I put it back together it just slipped my mind..

Help?

The glove compartment has a latch and the handle unhooks the plastic from the latch and opens it. Not sure what u mean.

if you mean the connector that hooks up to the opening switch. you MIGHT be able to get to it by removing the center console and coming at it from the side.
