Default glove box removal & install

I ordered a new cardboard glove box for my '65. I finished off my old one trying to pull it out the front hole today (after removing screws). How in the world do these things come out and go back in?

You will see fold lines on the new one. Fold it up as best you can, then put it in from the front. If that doesn't happen, then try going from underneath. It is one of the hardest things to replace, as I spent an entire afternoon getting my new one in. You just have to keep wiggling and adjusting to get it aligned so the original screws line up with the original screw holes. It can be done with patience. Keep at it until it is right.
On edit: You will need to take off the glove box door from the get-go.

Use a sharp razor blade and cut the dam thing into pieces! Not the new one.

Thanks for your help Glen. I had no idea I could fold it up like that without destroying it.
