Ok, had to remove the glove box. The latch is held on with 2 self tapping screws from the back of the glove box. A PITA for a simple latch replacement. The lock itself can be removed from the front once the lock cover is taken off. Another engineering marvel.
That is all.
So I have 3 new parts. The latch, the cylinder lock/keys and the plastic surround that goes in front of the cylinder and holds it in place.
I can see the tabs that hold the plastic surround in and thus the cylinder.
The latch may need to be pulled forward some way to release it. No obvious...
Thanks! Unfortunately it did not address the latch itself. I have three 3rd gens sitting in the driveway that are used as daily drivers. The 2016 5th gen is the one 4runner that I don't have a factory manual for.
Anybody here that had to replace the latch or lock on their 5th gen??
I did...
I was returning home from a 2 day road trip cross country and realized that I couldn't unlock my glove box. I put a few things in there and locked it up.
While my wife was driving, I ended up breaking the latch. I can open the box now by pushing in on the release with my finger. I destroyed...
Can someone tell me how to remove and replace the latch. It looks like there might be locking tabs to hold it in place? I will need to buy a new cylinder lock too. Thanks!!

For those that are interested in buying the rack, there is a seller on EBay that has them for $99.99 but you pay shipping. Seller is tinavontease. They do have local pick-up. Business is in PA.
For me, it was less than $150.00 shipped.
They sell the extension too, but their package for both...
Old thread, but how are these racks holding up? 169.00 at Amazon but another 105.00 for the extension!
$366 at Auto Anything!!!!! That is a big change from the original post!
