I don’t recall removing the wood trim to do this fix. Just drop the glove box.

Before I did the repair I watched a video that recommended removing the trim. I do believe that a small portion of the top of the box is covered by the trim piece. If I remember, I tried to remove the box without removing the trim. It was easier for me with the trim removed. YMMV

My glove box is the same way, and until I read this, I was blissfully unaware that it was not issued that way from the factory. I guess I'll add it to the to-do list that never seems to get completed.

Many of us were. It would be a good story I think to find out why this very simple task was not completed on so many units during the build process. What befell the Glove Compartment Damper Technician (Senior Grade)? A mystery worthy of Agatha Christie...
