Remove glovebox to change trim

Hi

This is my first thread

So, Im finally changing out the wooden trim for alu. Got the middle trim done. The doors i understand how to do. Have to remove the whole door panel. I saw a video on YouTube where this was done for an E70 so i think i should be able to do it.

Im struggeling with the glovebox. I took the middle vent off. Removed the screen. Then removed the silver trim under the right vent, then was able to remove the right vent. Removed one screw on each side that looked to hold the glovebox. Removed the trim aroud the cd player inside the glovebox. A new screw was revealed and removed. Also found 2 other screws on each side of the glovebox light. The box is kinda loose, but won't come out. I can't find any more screws and the box seem to be looser on the right side.

I would really appreciate if someone could guide me the rest of the way. I understand once you get the box somewhat out (or all the way out?), you are to remove a pin and just install the new trim. I have searched the forum, but nothing is detailed enough.

Thanks
