How to remove the storage compartment drawer of the Volkswagen Golf plus

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Glove compartment

In this video we see how to remove the glove box from the Volkswagen Golf Plus: it may be necessary to do so to access, for example, the fan. We will start by removing two T20 torx screws from the bottom, then three more are in the top and inside of the glove box. Now with a screwdriver we pry on the outer part of the dashboard, which is held only by plastic clips. The fittings are very well made and are really tenacious, so detaching the two parts from each other is not easy at all, you have to apply force, but gently so as not to break anything. We will have to disconnect the light inside the glove box, while there will be no need to disconnect the airbag cables.
