glove box latch

Hi guys;
Minor, but irritating. I live in Canada, where it gets COLD. right now it's -23. Whenever it falls much below freezing, the glove box latch on my 97 F 150 refuses to work. Another one of Fords "Better Ideas"?

i find that it is easier to close if you just
push above the latch and not slam it closed.
no matter what the temp is.

Yeah... I live in Minnesota, does the same thing, mine is my work truck, try pushing shut near the top (as stormchaser stated). My acts up when below 0*, which is a lot of the time(Ha..Ha). Slaming it only makes it worse. All that plastic twists in the severe cold. Mine is fine once the heater starts to warm stuff up. How much weight you have in there makes a diff. also.
