Default Anyone know how to screw in a glove box?

I feel so inadequate, I cannot figure out the correct bit?

I need to remove it to replace a part.

Assuming this is a serious question, you're going to have to come up with a better photo.

I haven't seen anything like that since the early Apollo missions were checking the lunar surface for potential landing sites.

Is it the two fixings at the top of the left and right of the glovebox lining sides? The right hand side is arrowed here:

If so, you need a Torx T-20 bit to remove them.

To remove the glove box completely, you need to pull off the wood section which has the air bag behind it and undo the 4 screws you see at the top of the glove box, then unscrew all the hinge screws from underneath, the whole thing then comes out
