I had the same problem with my Skoda Yeti. I removed the gear and reamed the hole using an 8mm drill bit held in the vice. I turned the plastic gear on the drill bit by hand whilst wearing a glove to grip it, until it was turning freely. I reassembled the mechanism with a small amount of light grease and all is now working perfectly.
I finally found the video for getting the glove box out. It was in russian, but you could follow it. With this video, I found the inside diameter of the cogwheel to be 7.55mm. So I drilled an 8mm wood bit though it. I also cleaned off the sticky, non-viscous and incorrect grease and replaced that with a smear of Vasaline. This did the trick. Thanks for the video.
amazing! finally someone solving this problem with a short and clear video. I hope you will get one million subscribers!

Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much - fixed mine today based on your video. Life saver!
Blimey that's an over complicated mechanism for such a simple operation! Thanks for the video, will take mine apart and see if i can fix mine.
Φανταστικο tutorial!! Ευτυχώς εμένα μου το έφτιαξε ο πανέξυπνος μπαμπάς μου, αλλα εαν χρειαζοταν να το κανω μονη μου θα μπορουσα βλεποντας το!
Thanks for this vid, i had the same problem, the gear was too tight. I filed a little of the gear hole, and now the glove box door stays shut.
Great info video.. job done!. Thank you.
Glad my video helped you.
How do you open the glove box if pushing the button doesn't open it? I can't open mine all of a sudden.
