    • Line up bottom clips of glove box with clip receivers.

    • Do not force the clips into the receivers. If you are having trouble, attach the left clips first, then pull the glove box up and the right clips will automatically attach themselves.

    • Do not expect a "snap" when reattaching; the clips will go into their place when the glove box is pushed up.
