Thanks Whiskerfish. FYI, prior to posting my video, I did a search for "How to open a locked glove compartment without the key". The response from the sight was "no matches". I wonder why that happened?

1) Too many keywords in your search. Less words = more results.
2) Incorrect terminology. He correctly called it the shelter top (Honda's name for it as on the parts drawings). We all tend to call it the glove compartment or glove box but that's not its real name.
