A million bazillion thanks for the dash info and pics.

I'm pretty sure I did, but don't have any pictures to prove it. It's been over 10 months since I had the car, so my memory is getting a bit fuzzy. It should be simple to do, though. I'd bet you have to pull down the carpeted panel above the passenger's feet and look for some screws along a plastic piano hinge that holds the glove compartment door to the dash support beam. Also, there is probably a stop on each side that keeps the door from falling completely open. Those should simply twist out. If memory serves, there's a little string/rope attached to one of those that goes to a damping mechanism so the door opens smoothly.

Again, though, this is all from my fuzzy memory. Your mileage may vary.
