Does Anyone Know How To Remove GX550 Glove Box?

[SROak]

I need to remove the glove box so I can locate a specific electrical connector (E192) located behind the glove box and against the right wall.
Any suggestions or ideas?

should be in the manual, look for instruction to change cabin filter. I'm still waiting for my GX so can't tell now....

I appreciate the comment, but I've already found the air cabin filter below the passenger-side knee airbag, and it's easy to access. And is no help to access the glove box itself.

I found this part list for the GX550 glove box, and the placement of screws holding suggests these to be under the shroud over the top of the glovebox. I'll get that shroud off and see what's behind there.

So far, I've got the glovebox top "frame" starting to come off, but it's stuck on the left side. I'm not sure, yet, what's holding it in place. I believe it's one of those green-tip "upper trim clip #9". I'm going slow because I don't want to break anything because it's all very expensive! That simple frame I'm trying to get off is $232.42 MSRP. The entire glove box assembly is $1,519.69 MSRP.
