Good grief!!! This is the first time my truck has really pissed me off!
Getting that box lid off is a pita. They should have taken some pointers from Ford in this case... I don't like Ford's track and wheel system (because it's cheap) but at least their method of removal/installation is intuitive and simple. This Ram glove box is less than ideal.
As others have already noted, don't bother with the (seemingly) obvious by trying to squeeze the stop tabs in... you need to pull the bottom out first.
The filter cover itself is also a pita. I can't imaging there was not a way for design team to move it to the left a bit, in order to get to that right tab easier.
Geez - what a frustration.
To add insult to injury - the truck is barely over 1600 and the filter is pretty dirty... I just wanted to be sure there was a filter in there at all (because I read somewhere that some people didn't have one)... Now I get to wrestle with that crappy door design again when I go to replace it in the coming weeks.
I haven't had an upset moment with Ram until today. Hell, my crappy MPG is more tolerable than this stupid glove box cover design.
