**Here's a tip from ""raymond~""**
the ridges are not crucial to glove box fit, I opine, and serve merely to elicit
cursing upon removal. so after you remove the glove box, take a small file
and taper the ridge to roughly 45º slope (instead of OEM of 70º) and it will
ease removal *immensely* from that point on. I did this and suffered no
rattling afterwards. seems a pretty tame mod.

2) Once the 8 screws are removed, you simply pull out on the glovebox door assembly to remove it. It will take a **HARD JERK** to remove it. There are slots on the top edge of the glovebox and tabs on the dash holding it all together. Some people have success prying gently around the tabs but you stand the chance of damaging the dash if you try to pry too hard.
