Removing Glovebox lid?

How do you do this?
It looks easy enough there are 2 pins either side holding it in yeah, do they just pop out? or do you need to turn them or something??

If they do just pop out how much force do you have to use, I don't want to break it

Thanks
James.

Whatever you do don't just yank it really hard cause it just snaps off and you end up smashing your head of the bootlid (I had no interior in the car...) and end up landing on all your tools.

The pins pop out, but tend to break in the process. I should imagine they're only pennies from a VW dealer though.

pffftlol @ heartagram .... ah a kindred spirit

have you opened up the little catches covering the cross-bar yet? (or are these the pins you're referring to?)

open the cover and press in the tabs on the pin with thin nose pliers allowing it come through.
