W210 Glovebox removal

[Hilton]

Can anyone offer any tips on the best method for pulling the glovebox out of the dash once all screws have been removed. I've read a few forum threads where they say it is a very hard pull but short of cutting finders to shreds, my technique is just not enough to pull it out of its position.

Grateful for any advice.

just done this several time on my w210, six screws and unplugged the light and a firm pull on the box, no problem..

Ah... six screws ! I only found 4 screws plus one extra one holding the latch in place. I removed 2 at the top front corners of the box, 2 on the floor of the box hiden by blanking plugs and the one at top centre holding the latch.

Where are the other (s) lurking ?

the two other ones are either side of the light, if you use your fingers you'll locate some holes it the top of the compartment, just use a small screwdriver as there is not much room..
