Hey guys,

I recently picked up an aluminum Turbo S glovebox handle and I have no idea how to go about installing it. There has to be a way to get it apart to service the lock cylinder though.

Has anyone had theirs apart? It looks like the only way in is to pop the 2 halves of the door apart with a small screwdriver.
