How to remove the glove compartment of a Toyota Corolla MK4

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 4, E170, E160 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Glove compartment

To remove the glove compartment from a Toyota Corolla MK4, the first thing to do is obviously to empty the compartment of everything it contains; let's open it normally and then locate the damper, which is a small gas piston mounted on the right side of the compartment, and which helps it to descend slowly when opened. Let's disconnect it and pull it to the right until it disengages from its ball joint, then compress the side walls with both hands inward and lower the compartment, but do not let it fall completely. With the walls still compressed and the compartment partially lowered, pull it towards us. If it doesn't come out, it means the angle is not correct. Behind we will find the cabin air filter, the airbag control unit, electrical wires for the compartment light, and the pivot pins.
