One common problem with the glove box on Mercedes-Benz S-Class is that over time the glove box itself or the glove box door may become loose.

To address this problem tighten the glove box screws. Adjust the rubber that keeps the door from shaking. The two rubber pieces have screws in the center that you can adjust.

In this case, you may need to carefully pry out the plastic cover on the side of a dashboard using dashboard trim tool and try to access the latch from this access port.
