A plastic cover had popped out and when I open the glove box while driving the cold air comes pouring out.

Remove all your items from the glove box, then look carefully at the right and left side of the glove box "walls". You will see two rubber "bump stops" attached to outer edge of the glove box side walls. You may need to slowly open and close the glove box a few times to notice them. Pull on the right and left side "walls" of the glove box simultaneously (this will bend them inwards temporarily-don't worry they won't break) and in the process the "bump stops" will be removed from the channel or groove they are normally in. Now the glove box will swing open completely. Since the panel behind the glove box fell out of place this may be a good time to replace the cabin air filter. To put back into place simply pull inwards on the glove box side walls and line up the "bump stops" back into the channels or grooves. Good luck.

My right side won't pop out when I squeeze the right side. Left side comes out easy but right side is attached to a hinge and won;t seperate?

Get a 10mm socket and ratchet and a Phillips screw driver, there is about 6 screws and bolts attaching the whole glove box and its frame to the dash. The frame is what you need to unbolt, if u just look at the dash, where the edge of the door sits, and you’ll find some Phillips screws in the top and some 10mm bolts along the bottom and the whole glove box will easily detach from the dash and then you can unbolt the pockets in the dash if you need to get behind them,
