You will destroy the glove box liner getting it out.

Did mine through the glovebox. IIRC, I disconnected the right duct to the center vent and probably the tee to make room for my big hands
If you have the original origami cardboard box liner, be prepared for it to disintegrate and need replacement
"While you're in there" consider swapping your vent ducts if they're crispy
