Yep - there are 4-6 screws on the top of the box, either on front or just underneath the top lip, and two rubber covers inside the glovebox. Once these rubber covers are removed, you can see the other bolts that hold the lower hinges. I think that about does it. I had mine off with the lower panel, but I think you can do it without taking that panel off. Just snoop around and you'll figure it out.
