The side stainless moldings pop off, removing the stainless gives access to the hinge for removal....the lock cylinder is removed using a paper clip and removing the lock tumbler, then using a special fabricated tool the chrome bezels screws out...search the archives, plenty of detail on this subject.

Dino, you mean if i take off the screws behind the stainless side moldings, i can completely take off the glove box console from the car ?

The glove box body is not easily removeable, it is bonded to the body.
The 6 pieces of stainless trim pops off the clips, you don't remove the clips except to paint the parts.

Michel, if you are striving for NCRS correct, the console and it's door was in place when the car was painted. It is bonded on, so very difficult to remove just for this reason. There should be some light overspray inside the box when you are done and of course overspray around the sides, top and bottom is also correct. None of this is seen when the carpet and seats go in, so don't worry about "coloring within the lines". Good luck.
