So I followed the instructions and removed all the necessary bolts and screws to get the entire assembly out. However, it seems unwilling to completely detach itself from the trim. It hangs on the left side and seems like it is still attached to something.

Is there a technique for removing this thing? Did I miss something in the disassembly?

I have a 2005 Super V8.

 

If it moves vertically up/down ~2/3" then it could be the light unit on the LHS - this protrudes to the lhs of the box. Alternatively if you have little up/down movement make sure the attachment struts, they come in at an angle and secure to the glove box bottom metal hinge/bracket, you can move them; the LHS move inboard and RHS outboard which gives the glove box room to move. The glovebox metal hinge/bracket needs to be move toward the bulkhead and then dropped down to get the box out.


Keep at it eventually iit comes out.

 

Thanks for the response! I suspect it is the light unit. Does that pop out by pushing it? Or do you have to reach around somehow and unplug it? The bolts are definitely out.

 

Have a look at this post. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...er-quit-62390/

Attachment #6 (blower quit glove box 6.jpg)shows the glove box lamp elec connector (lower lhs). Remove the lamps. The box protrudes from the lhs of the glove box and is heat staked in place. I don't recommend you remove it but maneuver the whole glove box out from the dash knowing this light box is there.


I know I struggled with mine but it eventually comes out.
