W213: how to remove the glove compartment shell

[anyweb]

hi,
my goal/plan is to route power from the back of the 12v charger in the center console, I'll do this by removing the center console and soldering/connecting up new cable from the back of the charger socket and route a cable to the inside of the glove compartment and attach a new 12v charger socket in the glove compartment, I'm doing this to easily connect up a dash cam and to have the wires hidden from view.

So, does anyone know how I can remove the inside shell of the glove compartment safely without breaking anything ? any instructions to doing this, it's a 2017 model E220 sedan (W213),

thanks in advance for any help
cheers
niall

I've spent hours, days even trying to find info about how to connect up a dashcam invisibly in the W213, what a nightmare, I'll keep digging though as the dashcam is on it's way to me...
