Nissan Versa glove compartment latch mechanism

I own a 2011 Nissan Versa SL. I noticed one day that I was unable to open the glove compartment. The handle was broken. After a google search and a few telephone calls later, it seemed that the 50 cent part would cost over $100 and require replacing the entire glove compartment door. I found instructions on how to open the door.

A. With a flathead screw driver, carefully pry off the handle (from the side)
B. Push down into the notch, the retention mechanism to open the glove compartment
