Hi there. Open up the glove box and remove all the stuff inside it. Then use a small screwdriver and remove the clips by pulling them towards the rear of the car and then turn them into the glove box. Then you can pull out the glove box from the dashboard. If you need further assistance with your glove box, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
