Hi thought I might have to do that too but luckily the latch was loose and tightened up and cured it.
I looked at where I might put magnets and thought two in place of where stops are on either side .they would have to be quite strong and would need a washer super glued to glovebox door .if you can find magnets with holes in there are screws in rubber . Haven't needed to do it but thought it might work as against £150 for use glovebox . Good luck with fix

Would locking the glovebox stop it opening ?

Agree, takes less time than fixing it with magnets!
