Dismantling the glove compartment is not always a standalone operation; it is often linked to further interventions, such as replacing a fuse located behind it, or changing the pollen filter, which is also present behind this compartment, depending on the vehicle model.

The method for carrying out this task is almost identical in all cars and involves releasing the internal side brackets using a preferably plastic trim tool.

It's very simple; just a few seconds and the compartment comes out.
