Just had the same problem - glove box wouldn't close. Exactly same cause as above - right hand latch had "stuck" inside the door liner. A gradual coaxing with a screwdriver head was all it took to pop both sides out - now working good as normal. Thanks so much for the information posted here - saved me a call to Service!
Welcome on your first post!!! Don't quit posting.Same thing happened to me on a couple of occasions. Used the info from this forum to fix it in about a minute. Thanks
Happened to me again...twice this week. When I go in for my 12k service I will ask the SC to replace my glove box lid/door as some have done. I however do not know if this has been re-engineered or not---anyone have any ideas?
Just had an interesting failure on my S85. Unlocked the car, disconnected the ChargePoint J1772 and adapter, closed the charge port, got into the car, popped open the glove box to stow the adapter, then went to close the glove box and it would not latched closed. Tried a bunch of times to get it to latch without success. Upon further investigation, I could see that the latch mechanism was retracted. If I pressed on the glove box release, the latch would extend, the immediately retract. It would not stay extended. No obvious loose or missing parts. Called Tesla service--they had never heard of any failure like this, and had a limited repertoire of things to try. They had me try to reboot main display with both rollers on steering wheel. No joy. Then they had me pull the 2 20 amp fuses and reinsert them to power cycle the circuits that they thought might be culprit. Again, no joy. My additional concern was the glove box light--would it stay on if the glove box was left open and the car was powered off/locked. I did not want to run down the 12V system. No-one had the definitive answer. So now I have a piece of blue painters tape holding the glove box closed, and will have to make the pilgrimage to Fremont next week.
Anyone have any ideas?
Same problem. Inserted a flat head screwdriver over the top of the curved portion on the latch and wiggled it. It released. It appeared to be wedged in there. I must admit I had slammed the glove shut when this happened.

This just happened to my 2013. the left side latch on the glovebox door will not spring back out. I notice that there does not seem to be a latch on the right side of the glovebox door. Can someone confirm that the 2013 models only have a single left side latch? Maybe mine is buried in deep ?? A screw drive does nto seem to hit anything in the empty hole on the right side. The release button works fine for the left side release in the frame. When I feel for anything happening in the "empty" hole on the right side frame there seems to be nothing there.
Only a one sided system in the 2013?
It is possible to unplug the light. You have to pop the light out of the glove box liner and then you can unplug it. It should not be an issue though as it's a tiny LED.Can you pull the bulb as drain insurance?
