Glove Box removal

I need to drop the glove box in my 99 Vert to install some stereo gear.
Are there any tips or secrets that I should know before I Bubba it up?
Tks.

Be very gentle removing the unit from the dash. Don't try to support the assembly from the top section that bolts to the dash. It's very thin and breaks easily. Don't ask why I know this, but I do know that if you slam the glove box door shut with the owners manual sticking up a little bit, you will spend several hours epoxying the 7 or 8 pieces that were once your 1 piece glove box frame back together again. If this does happen, a thin aluminum strip epoxied to the top of the frame really helps make it stronger and does not show.
