Remove the glove box first, then look up from the back side you and will see all the bolts. I don't remember how many, but it is nothing special, and they are in sight when you look up with/out glove box.

It sucks getting out. You have to take off a support bracket after you get the glove compartment out. There are 4 10mm nuts on each corner waaaaay up in there. You will definately need two extensions and a swivel to get it out. It took me like a half an hour to do it because I just couldn't get to one of the nuts.

Also, the 95 EG chassis will have an extra metal bar welded to the actual metal of the car, and this will cause the new glove compartment to not fit, so you will have to use your old one, or one out of the car with an airbag, as it is smaller. Even then, the holes that mount the glove box to the dash will not line up when the glove compartment is closed. I swapped out my 94 dash with a 92 one, and I have this problem. Right now, I just have the glove compartment latched on the latch and hanging like that. You and I will both have to figure out a way to bolt up the bottom two hinges at the bottom to get it to work properly. Good luck. I'm still procrastinating doing it.
