how to remove the glove box on a vauxhall zafira?

there are four screws holding in the glove box
push the passenger seat right back out of the way
open the box and you will see 2 screws in the top of the frame
and 2 screws at the bottom under the glove box it is best to kneel down outside the car and stretch inside to do this ,i would recomend to use a torch to help you see the underneath screws, the box and frame come out in one piece,there is a electric plug joined to the box pull this of when removing the box, heater plastic pipe there is a clip holding the pipe to the car about half way along the top of the pipe put a flat head screw driver in the clip and force it apart then pull the pipe to the left of the main heater to remove it you will have to pull and twist it a bit.you will then see the edge of the pollen filter with 4 little silver clips holding little phlap or type of door closed remove the clips any way you can try not to loose them .open door pull out filter and re fit new pollen filter it is a bit tricky,push the pollen filter door it should fit tight before puting clips back on then reasemble put the top screws in first not to tight allow a bit of movment to align the bottom screws they are very hard to put back in good luck
