Since the C900 glove box is obviously an improvement over the older model, I doubt you'll have any problem whatsoever prying it open without damage :) I betcha it just pops open. One thought though - it's not like petrol cap locks, is it? Like you have to hold the barrel still and then unlock it, otherwise it just spins (or in your case turns as normal but the lock is not unengaged). Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
