How do I remove the glove compartment of the Audi A3?

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

In order to remove the glove compartment of the Audi A3, you need to loosen the two bolts located immediately under the drawer and then open the drawer itself to remove the bolts located on the inside. Furthermore, using an object as a lever, it is necessary to lift the plastic part placed between the dashboard and the passenger door, in order to loosen a screw placed under it. Once all the previously indicated bolts have been removed, the glovebox can be extracted from its housing. To be able to remove it completely, you will also need to disconnect the connectors.
