Actually its quite easy.

It just takes some force, just pull the thing out! Pull the opposite direction tho...like for the driver one, pull out towards the passenger side of the car, for the passenger one, pull out towards the driver side...pull from the top where it meets the headliner!

Just wiggle ur fingers in there, and have fun [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

I pulled mine off and it didnt warp and fit back perfectly.





And the wire came out right at the corner of the glove compartment. Its right above the black bolt/screw. It hides nicely in a groove under the glove compartment as well.

Yeh like Kre said...it wont warp in the process as long as you pull from the right spot, and the right direction. See my last post for details...
