Problem overview

Some Kia Forte Koup owners report experiencing issues with a stuck glove box hatch after a replacement. These problems can arise if the latch mechanism is misaligned or not functioning correctly, leading to the hatch remaining closed. Additionally, damaged hinges may prevent smooth operation, and some owners find it necessary to remove the glove box to access the latch housing for inspection. Lubricating the latch mechanism and hinges can help alleviate the issue, but if the problem persists, it is advisable to seek professional assistance from a mechanic experienced with Kia vehicles to ensure proper diagnosis and resolution.
