Help With Glove Box

my glove box does not open very easily. the button is fine you just have to find a place around the outside to grab it and open it. is there any sping or seal that makes it easier to open?

There is a torsion spring where the hinge screws to the inside of the door. It goes the full length of the hinge and has a dog leg on each end which provides the tension. It may be broken, missing, or installed incorrectly.
