What is the method for removing the Octavia glove box?

Glove box is located on the passenger seat. To remove the glove box, simply release it. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to remove the glove box. First locate the position of the glove box clips. Push inward with both hands using some force to release the clips, then the glove box can be removed.
I've been driving my Octavia sedan for over five years and have replaced the cabin air filter by removing the glove box several times myself, which is quite convenient. First, you need to fully open the glove box door to its maximum angle. Then, press both plastic clips on the sides simultaneously with your hands, applying slight inward pressure. Once you feel it loosen, gently pull to remove the entire unit. If there's a wiring connection for the interior light inside, be careful not to yank it forcefully to avoid disconnecting the wires and causing issues. After removal, you'll find the filter behind the cover where you can clean off dust or install a new filter. When reinstalling, align it properly and push it back in until you hear a click, indicating the clips are securely fastened. Doing it yourself saves money and hassle. I recommend checking the manual or searching online for videos to familiarize yourself with the exact shape of the clips beforehand—this will help you work more skillfully and avoid mistakes. During disassembly, move gently as plastic components are fragile and prone to cracking, which could affect service life. Regular inspections can also help prevent other minor issues.
