I am trying to get to a strip of foam that has come loose and allows cold air to come in above the glove box. I can see the foam strip but can't get to it without removing the glove box. I can't find any instructions on how to remove it on this forum or other places, i.e., You Tube. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Glove box will open pretty wide once you loosen a couple of things. Might be enough for what you need. Here are some pics that might help

I recall the steps are

- disconnect the plastic strut. I think just pull out from the plastic clip? Its been awhile and going from rusty memory :)
- need to pull a couple of plastic stops on the back of the glove box inwards clear the frame and open all the way. Can't remember on this car exactly but usually wiggle one side out at a time helps. Get a flash light in there and see if you can see the stops before digging in.
