CLK W209 glove box catch

[claggy001]

Opened and tried to close my glove box today, not an unusual thing to try doing, but the glove box would not latch shut. Can't see anything amiss but something must have decided to stop working.
Any suggestions would be helpfully received. It's a coupe, by the way.

Any help? It's a common fault..

Well, after 40 minutes of swearing at it and deciding that taking the cd changer out to get at the striker wasn't something to embark on at 9pm with fading light, I started the engine to move the car on the drive. Gave the glove box another slam and.. it shut and latched as usual!
B@''@r me, something must have reset itself. So it's fixed!

It will do it again "trust me on that one" I had to do mine a while back, there is only one torx screw to take out and then the CD changer just swings out of the way. If you must swear at it, you need to do it in German or it will not respond to you.
