How do you remove the glove box?

I'm going to start working on another little project for my car and it would be sooooo much easier if I could remove the glovebox. I haven't looked at it too hard yet, but I wanted to know if anyone here did it and how was it done? Thank you!!

Check the FAQ. I recall over a year ago there was a topic about the changing A/C filters. You have to go through the glove compartment for access. Hope this helps.

its very easy. There are two hinges with wheels towards the back of it. They pop it with little pressure.

I'm looking for a hidden, yet accessible place to put a monitor... so the glove box is leading the way.... just open it and watch the movie . I have to do some measuring and fitting which is why I want to remove it. Down the road I want to put monitors in the headrest and visors, but for now I only have one.

Thanks for all of the replies guys... I'm just worried about popping this thing out and not being able to get it back in. I'll check the FAQ and also look for those hinges. Thanks!

I've removed and popped out those rollers many times BUT the glove box does NOT come out completely, it just bends a little bit more. Are there not some other disassembly points/screws (I guess I'll check the HELMS)?

See that's the stuff I need to know!! I'll take a look at it Sun. if I have time. If I doesn't come out, guess I'll need someone with the HELMS to check it out! Thanks again!!
