The M is printed on the middle black piece, which you don't have to change, if your's already say M, just snap the bamboo piece by replacing with the silver one.

Then push the pin out of the hinge for the lower trim piece, then swap over the parts and replace the whole lot.

Hi Palmer,

today I tried to replace the glove box trim piece, but no luck. I came as far as removing the air vent modules on both sides of the glove box as well as the iDrive screen.

Took off a ton of screws, but the glove box appears to be somehow attached at the bottom.

Do you recall how to get that fr@#$ing thing off? Any hint would be appreciated - this piece is the last one to exchange.
