Disassemble Glove Box

Like many people I have the annoying problem that my glove box needs a good slam to close and often pops open all on its own.

The handle mechanism seems a bit floppy as the handle looks like it is constantly half pulled so doesn't sit flush with the rest of the glove box.

I know how to remove the glove box door but can't for the life of me see how to take the door apart to work on the mechanism. There's only 1 screw on the side visible. It looks like the it's in 2 parts and is glued or stuck together so I don't want to force it open only to find I can't get it back together!

2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

Aha! I began to remove those screws but it looked like the mechanism was going to come loose inside the lid so stopped. Cheers FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Job done. Glove box working as it always should have. Bent the clip up a few mm and also found that the spring in the handle wasn't seated so it wasn't closing fully.
