Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to emergency open the glove compartment of a Suzuki APV: using a strong enough metal wire with the end pointed and bent in a "C" shape, enter from the bottom of the compartment until reaching the back of the lock, as seen in the video, to hook the metal part of the lock in order to open it. We recommend not to overfill the compartment, as shown in the video, because in this case it is easier for the lock to break.

To find the new lock, we can go to AliExpress with the code 1005004784500610 for the price of 23.64 euros, with free delivery.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
