I recently purchased a new glove box door to replace the old scuffed and scratched one.

I need help removing the locking mechanism. There's nothing online that I have found for the scion tc. I've seen guides for other cars, but it doesn't help me.

Thanks!

Im not sure how to do it, but I know it is possible. I bought my tc used and whoever owned it before removed the lock mechanism. I haven't been able to lock my glove box since day one, not that i really need to though...

Sorry this doesn't help much as far as actually removing it. But I figured I'd throw in that it is possible with our cars.

 

never mind. very simple.

open the latch handle, there's a gold c-clip on the backside of the locking mechanism that you can press in. Then with your other nimble finger, press the cylinder straight out!

 

yep you figured it out........that littel ring is sneaky to see unless the box is out of the car,I found it by mistake one day.
