Pull out the glove compartment box. It is held in with some plastic rivet-like things. Pull out the plug in the middle of each "rivet" first, then the plastic sleeve will also come out. Once you have them all out, remove the glove compartment light and pull the box.
Disassembling the door is a bit more of a booger. You must remove the plastic inside liner, and it is held in place by some weird screw thingies. They are nuts with slotted heads, and they have the threaded bolt part coming up through the middle. I took a large flathead screwdriver and a cutoff disk, and cut a large notch in the screwdriver blade so I could loosen and tighten these. I disremember how the hinges come off the lid, but it will be evident, and straightforward, once you get the plastic inner cover off the lid. Or at least that is how it was with my wife's '80 300CD.
