Default Glovebox removal!

Hey team,

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to remove the glovebox.
I got down with my back on the floormat and see 2 screws up there. Is that how it comes off? Now my question is HOW would I ever get those back in if they are the right ones? I see a way to get them out but there's no way I could get them back in there unless something else comes off as well.

Pics always welcome!!

Thanks in advance

Remove the glove box by removing the 7mm screws located @ the top of the glove box when opened. Take a flat headed screw driver and pop the big plastic plugs. Covers off the inside of the glove box. You will now see 2, 10mm bolts. Use a 10mm swivel socket to remove these and pull the glove box away.
And yes, these are fun to put back-in.

I just got it out! Thanks

This is the thread I found

I'd like to add my removal procedure:
there are 4 7mm bolts up top. The I removed the 1 7mm bolt on the side piece that meets with the door (because I want this piece out too). After that push from behind one the 2 big plugs on the inside of the glovebox and at the same time get a tiny flathead under the part you're pushing up against and they come right out. Now you can see the 2 10mm bolts and remove them and you're done.

Thanks everyone! This is too much fun ohhh yeah!
