Anybody managed to get the glovebox lid to fit?

As the title suggests, what does it take to re-align the glovebox lid? Anybody done a pictorial walk through of how much dismantling it takes to actually get to the other end of the hinge?

Haven't got any pics, but it's a pretty simple job (if a little fiddly). Flipping the spring does make it shut better, but mine's still wonky. Still, it doesn't pop up on bumpy roads now.

This is the fix if ithe lid is bent out of shape beyond what reversing the springs can achieve:

This post has pictures and details of how to remove the lid and reverse the springs (read down past the posts talking about just changing the lid!):
