Glove box latch broken

Hi,

The glove box latch was missing when I bought my used 2003 R53. I use a wooden shim to keep it closed. I've thought of trying to make a latch out of pvc pipe, which is thermoplastic.
Does anyone know how to take the glove box door apart?
Anybody have a picture of their latch that I can use as a guide?

-Eric

Here is a thread with the glove box and latch.

The top latch catch is here. #3 that is a separate part but included , otherwise it all in one.
