How to remove glove box door?

In another thread, I'm describing my work to track down the source of a parasitic battery drain, and I now need to access the fuses in the glove box; in other words, I need to pull one fuse and a time, and place the leads of my ammeter across the connectors to try to identify the circuit with the leak. I've already done this with the rear fuse box, and found a huge leak coming from the nav/stereo, but I suspect I have more leaks.

So, to access the fuses, I need to remove the glove box door. Could somebody who has done it please explain how to remove the door? I have to confess to not looking at mine very long (I was hoping the stereo/nav leak was my only leak), but if somebody out there has already done this, could you please let me know you did it? Thanks.

Read that and you'll be good to go.

Thanks, that's very helpful.

Although, it just occurred to me that I remember seeing a fuse in the glove box fuse box that was associated with the navigation unit, so before I go any further, I think I'll just pull that fuse (and any others that relate to the stereo/nav), keep the charger on overnight, and see if the battery doesn't charge up. If it does, I'll know the parasitic leak is confined to the stereo/nav circuit, probably the unit itself.
