How about inserting a strip of thin sheet metal (like a piece of a tin can
or something) in between the glovebox door and dashboard then sliding that
towards the lock. When you hit the lock catch, you might be able to slide
the metal strip on an angle towards the rear of the car to undo the door,
because the catch has an angle on it.
