    Remove the glovebox. Turn on your back head into the footwell. Look up and you'll see six big toothed washers like the doorcard a but easier to remove.

    Pull back tabs/teeth, remove all washers. Then do the reverse to fit new piece. Just make sure to put the teeth back down to have maximum grip

      If its like mine a ABY coupe you can either remove the glovebox or just flip it down (open it and push the sides in so it folds down further) Look up and you will see 6 clips which you need to remove then swap it over. It depends on age as to what type clips are used.

        On some of the trims i have seen they have got a spring type clip, much easier to remove than the toothed type you are on about

                Still possible, although I can't remember how I got the carbon trim out of an UrS4 I've broken
