This happened to me a while ago - Out of fuel, 100 miles from home, on a petrol forecourt, with wallet in the glovebox.
Article is about right, but I would go for the two 10mm nuts holding the hinge to the body, just hidden behind the carpet, rather than disturbing the self tappers that hold the hinge to the glovebox.
