How to Remove the Glove Box?

[LeGavin]

Open the vehicle's glove box, remove the piston buffer latch on the right side, and rotate the right fixing button counterclockwise. There are knobs on the upper and lower sides inside the glove box. Remove the knobs on both sides to open the glove box.

I've removed the glove box before. First, open it and locate the retaining clips on both sides of the box. Use your thumb and index finger to squeeze the clips towards the center or pinch the protruding parts above and below the clips. A click sound indicates successful release. For some models, you need to lift the entire glove box slightly to disengage it from the slot, while also paying attention to the connection point of the damping rod. Gently pry open the connector with a small flat-head screwdriver. Be gentle during the operation to avoid breaking plastic parts. No special tools are required for the entire process. After removal, check if the clips are deformed before reinstalling. The position of the clips may vary slightly between different car brands, so it's safer to first find a video tutorial for your specific model and follow along.

The key to glove box removal lies in handling the limit mechanism. First open the compartment door - you'll typically find plastic clips or twist-lock devices along the side rails. Press them firmly or rotate 90 degrees to release. For models with hydraulic struts, carefully remove the metal retaining rings using needle-nose pliers instead of pulling forcefully to avoid damage. After removal, inspect the rail structure as some vehicles have hidden fastening screws underneath. Wear anti-slip gloves during the process and store disassembled screws on a magnetic tray to prevent loss. For reinstallation, follow the reverse sequence: align the rails first before pressing them back into position.

Disassembling the glove box boils down to three core steps: opening, releasing clips, and removing the box. After opening the door, locate the plastic limit blocks on both sides—usually pressing the raised center part will release them, while some models require rotating the limit knob. Then gently pull the glove box outward; if resistance is felt, check the damper rod connection point and gently pry the metal retaining ring with a small screwdriver. Always be mindful of the plastic components' flexibility limit—excessive force may snap the clips. Remember to clean debris from the tracks after removal. During reassembly, first hook the damper rod before pushing the box back in; a click sound confirms proper seating.
