Disclaimer: your 928 interior may be hacked differently than mine and contain more or less screws, bolts, clips, and various other parts.

  1. Move seats to rear most position.

  2. Raise steering wheel/pod to upper most position.

  3. Disconnect the battery ground strap (in rear hatch).

  4. Remove the passenger storage shelf.

  5. Remove the three bolts on the glovebox hinge (just above the storage shelf) and remove the door.
