Exclamation Quick - Need Help Removing Glovebox

A little help please ASAP, I am in the process of (trying) to install my 680 ride height adjustor, I have most of the glovebox disassembled except for the wood trim at the top that I believe needs to be removed. I have uncliped the clips that are inside the vents, but the wood above the box won't release, are there more clips that need to be 'uncliped' or am I just not pulling hard enough on the wood? Help ! I don't want to break the wood, but what else do I need to do?? The directions are in Japanese, so that's not much help.


ISpilot....are you out there?

Default Got It !!

OK, for anyone who needs this info. First of all DON'T listen to everything you hear from "Lexus Master Techanicians". 2 out of 3 of them just said PULL HARDER, riiiiight. Anyway, what you need to do is to loosen the 2 clips IN the air vent by sticking a screwdriver in the vent and popping them up, next start at the right and GENTLY pull off the wood trim above the glove box working your way down to the center console, after that it will pop off and you are at the last 3 bolts holding it together.

Good luck, let me know if you need more details
