The glove box doors have a piece of spring steel in the bottom of the door. When installed, working properly and adjusted properly, the door will spring open...without relying on the spring in the glove box light. They are a little tricky to get out and in, but I just put one in the door on my '66 Chevy C20 Custom Camper, that had a broken helper spring.
I am sure I have some of these, if you would rather install one, in lieu of a pull handle or knob.
