Glove box removal

Trying to remove my glove box, had a look at this video:

but I cannot really work out what I need to get the clips to bend past any help would be gratefully received! If I had to bend the clips as far as I think I need to it looks like they might snap.

I have read this post as well: http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... l#p8147617 So I think i just need to take another look and good forcefully but carefully!

They will bend far enough. But they also snap. I have had it happen with two different ones, i put it down to going brittle with age.

Thanks

I managed to do it it was a lot tighter on the left-hand side than the right.

Thanks again

Like most plastic that has the potential to snap, light warming with a hair dryer tends to avoid damage.

They only need to bend in slightly to line up with a notch in the surround - get a little mirror in there and take a look!
