Glove box won't open

My glove box won't open. The handle isn't pulling the latch release. Is there a "trick" to get into the glove box to try and repair without breaking it? Thanks.

Take it apart from the back and put a mirror and flashlight in there.

I just bought my 2003, and it required a screw driver to open the box. I pulled it down and unscrewed the 3 fasteners. Then I had to peal the door skin from the inner box. I have the new latch on the way. I plan to use a little super glue and maybe some added fasteners. There are flats spots that match up with areas that look like they are made to screw into if holes were made, into the skin. There is no way other than to peal the two parts apart to get to the latch mechanism.
