In this video, see how to remove the glove compartment from the Volkswagen Golf Plus: this may be necessary to access, for example, the fan. Start by removing two T20 Torx screws from the bottom, then three more are located at the top and inside the compartment.

Now, using a screwdriver, pry on the outer part of the dashboard, which is held only by plastic clips.

The fittings are well made and quite sturdy, so separating the two parts is not easy; you must apply force, but do so gently to avoid breaking anything. You will need to disconnect the light inside the compartment, while there is no need to disconnect the airbag cables.
