The mechanism is probably failed.  Its a very flimsey, crappy setup (take it apart, you'll see what I mean).

Catch (no pun intended!) 22 though, you need to open glovebox to remove it, and you need to remove glovebox to be able to get to catch mech...

thought that mighta been the case!... similar set up to the carlton? as i remember that was crap lol.. ok, so who knows the easiest way to remove it without a crowbar?

Might be able to get screwdriver etc in to depress the catches  :-/
