Alright, im going off memory here. There should be two screws inside it on the roof of the box that need to come out. This will release the little plastic latch. Then you will need to take the swingarms off the door of the glove box. (Here is where is gets a little fuzzy) I think you need to take off the panel below the glove box, the plastic piece that has 2-4 screws. This will let you get acess to the screws that hold the glove box door on that are otherwise covered by this plate. Then all you have to do is take out the screws holding in the glove box. you should be able to start pulling it out, but you will catch a snag on the light on top of it. Easiest way to disconnect it is to reach up from the bottom behind the dash and twist the light out of the housing and pull the whole thing out.

I think that covers it....
But i haven't done this in about a year, so its a little fuzzy. For the most party, just look around and remember where you took screws out of, its easy to do.

There are a sireies of screws around the edge of the glove box

Be careful of the light It can make getting the box out a bit tuff.

I can't remember if there are any screws in the bottom or inside the box. Take a flash light and check it out. but the glove box will come out.
