Remove lower knee pad. (nuts under dash)
Undo 3 screws at hinge.
Reverse to install.

Not quite that easy. The center screw holds the strap that surrounds the 'box' of the glovebox. Remove center screw and lower strap and box. Then there are actually 4 fasteners holding the door. Two are screws with backing nuts (have your socket/wrench ready so you don't strip the screw head, they will be tight!) and two are studs with nuts that you get after the 'box' is lowered away. Good luck.

You're right, 4 fasteners not 3. Been a while since I had mine out. Nice description.

I had to remove the air vent to get to the nut holding the right side of the knee bar. To get the air vent out you have to remove the screw on the right and then the clips must be depressed (4 two top two bottom). It can be very time consuming and tedious.
