    Any help to repair or relace the hardware for the lower Glovebox latch for 2004 Prius would be greatly appreciated.

    Remove the grey plastic bar that separates the top and bottom boxes.
    It comes off with a little pressure.I used a small slotted screwdriver and pried the side and it came off easily. You will see the latch.it controls both boxes.
    It looks easy to take off... 3 phillip head screws.
    The problem i have is ..can't find the screw that holds the buttons that operate the latch.. Help someone?
    Thanks

    My lower box won't shut tonight on the way to work tonight! It feels like something is wedged in it and won't let it shut all the way.... I've looked all around and cleared everything out of it to make sure nothing is stopping it from shutting but I see nor do I feel anything blocking it! Any ideas? Mines 2012 BTW Generation III

    There is nothing mechanical about this glove box, remove the entire thing (as if you were installing a cabin filter), then see what's stuck in it.
